Using a single photograph, researchers created an algorithm that computes highly accurate, full-color three-dimensional reconstructions of areas behind obstacles -- a concept that can not only help prevent car crashes, but help law enforcement experts in hostage situations, search-and-rescue and strategic military efforts.

After a recent car crash, John Murray-Bruce wished he could have seen the other car coming. The crash reaffirmed the University of South Florida assistant professor of computer science and engineering's mission to create a technology that could do just that: See around obstacles and ultimately expand one's line of vision.

"These shadows are all around us," Czajkowski said."The fact we can't see them with our naked eye doesn't mean they're not there." "Our work achieves a similar result using far less," Czajkowski said."You don't need to spend a million dollars on equipment for this anymore." While the algorithm is still in the development phase, it is available for other researchers to test and reproduce in their own space.A recent study that examined the relationship between artificial intelligence and law enforcement underscores both the need for law enforcement agencies to be involved in the development of ...
