US Patent Issued to SHANGHAITECH UNIVERSITY on Aug. 25 for "Non-line-of-sight imaging via neural transient field" (Chinese Inventors)

ALEXANDRIA, Va., Aug. 25 -- United States Patent no. 12,718,388, issued on Aug. 25, was assigned to SHANGHAITECH UNIVERSITY (Shanghai).

"Non-line-of-sight imaging via neural transient field" was invented by Siyuan Shen (Shanghai), Zi Wang (Shanghai), Shiying Li (Shanghai) and Jingyi Yu (Shanghai).

According to the abstract* released by the U.S. Patent & Trademark Office: "A novel neural modeling framework Neural Transient Field (NeTF) is provided for non-line-of-sight (NLOS) imaging. NeTF recovers the 5D transient function in both spatial location and direction, and the training data input is parametrized on the spherical wave-fronts. A Markov chain Monte Carlo (MCMC) algorithm is used to account for sparse and unbalanced sampling in NeTF...
