Scientists have developed a breakthrough technique known as motion-induced sampling that enables consumer-grade LiDAR sensors to image objects hidden from a direct line of sight. By fusing multiple data frames through a sophisticated motion-based model, the system can achieve precise three-dimensional reconstruction, tracking, and localization. This advancement transforms relatively low-cost, off-the-shelf hardware into powerful imaging tools, bridging the gap between everyday consumer electronics and specialized, high-end laboratory equipment previously required for non-line-of-sight detection.
