Yet, conventional imaging systems fail to exploit or, worse, discard captured physical properties of light that are rich with information. For example, time of flight, polarization, wavelength, coherence, angular information, and other physical properties are encoded in photons as they interact with an environment. By understanding and carefully modeling the physics of light transport, we can reveal scene information that would otherwise remain invisible, enabling powerful and efficient methods for vision and sensing.</span></font></span></div><font color="#212121" class=""><span class="" style="white-space: pre-wrap; font-size: 15px;"><br class="">In this talk, I describe physics-based techniques for applications in 3D imaging and computer vision.
