Reconstructing Hidden Movement from Video

Depending on the quality of this, consider the implications in many areas.  We did lots in the area of video understanding, could have used this.  Below description and videos.

MIT CSAIL’s AI can reconstruct hidden movement from video footage alone  By Kyle Wiggers in Venturebeat

Seeing around corners and through walls is old hat for AI and machine learning algorithms, which are at the heart of systems (some of which use lasers) that produce images outside a sight line. But what about the much more challenging task of reconstructing hidden objects without special equipment?

Researchers at MIT’s Computer Science and Artificial Intelligence Laboratory say they’ve developed exactly that. Their system, which they lay out in a preprint paper published this week, can reconstruct hidden videos from the shadows and reflections on an observed pile of clutter. With nothing more than a video camera switched on in a room, it’s capable of “seeing” around corners even when those corners (and live-action performances) fall outside the camera’s field of view.  ....
