Ultrasound synthetic aperture non-line-of-sight imaging.

ABSTRACT: Non-line-of-sight (NLOS) imaging typically relies on the use of ultrashort laser pulses and time-resolved detection to then reconstruct 3D environments that are hidden from the direct line-of-sight. However, the same scattering mechanism and wall-reflections that allow light to propagate into the hidden environment and back again ultimately limit both resolution and imaging distances even at high laser powers. Non-optical, such as acoustic and radio-wave approaches promise to solve some of these issues but have yet to achieve results comparable to optical systems. We present an ultrasound-based NLOS imaging system based on a scanning ultrasound emitter and receiver operating in a frequency range similar to common bats that demonstrates high-resolution 3D reconstruction of hidden scenes.
