Researchers out of the Camera Culture Group at the MIT Media Lab have developed a novel imaging system that can gauge the distance of objects shrouded by fog so thick that human vision can't penetrate it. This system could be a crucial step toward self-driving cars. (Learn more: news.mit.edu/2018/depth-sensin...)

The system tests were static but a car is moving and so may be the objects in its path. Does the system have the latency that would enable it to work under dynamic conditions?

Mark Benfield it is real-time due to the speed at which data is delivered and converted into pictorial representation.

Would sonar fit as better solution in this situation? It works ok through water. Even if it has a longer delay won't it be more reliable? Somebody please answer this ,why why not with an explanation.

How about using radio waves produced from car to hit the object ahead and come back to sensors, and computer screen inside the car can show that an object, say a car is this much distance ahead?

What if such system can be implemented on airplanes, that would be a major breaktrough, no more crashings on the ground or on sudden pooping up mauntains, they could use sonar systems as well aside from this system to get around that fog problem for good.

Apparently, it does not. Smoke grenades are filled with sulphur and compounds of carbon with different molecular structures and much denser than just H2O. This could lead the team to looking at a better alternative to this.

ah, so it's using time-of-flight measurements to see which photons are comming directly from the object, and which photons are being delayed by being bounced around in the fog?

@xponen 6 жыл бұрын

@Noel Pytlik, it is 100% Uber's fault. The maker of the LIDAR system claim their LIDAR should have no problem detecting the cyclist, so the one who killed the cyclist was the Uber car/AI made by Uber.

@Noel Pytlik , no, the cyclist already paid for her negligence (Death), the Uber didn't. Uber is negligence as well and they need to pay for it as well.

Yes, it really saves the human's life from the inevitable car crashes. Just wonder can we use this kind same tech into the raining condition. Of course there are multiple factors involving car crash not only visual part, but also the other mechanical part from the vehicles and the road conditions in raining as well as drivers' well beings...............................

this research is bullshit....using LASER to see through fog ...knowing the fact that light is scattered away by the water vapours....people have determined ways to image the ground profile without actually digging up the ground, they did not use lasers. My point is you cannot see through the wall using Light. Use microwaves instead for better imaging. And by the way on funny side you could have just used blower instead to clear up the fog, i bet it would have atleast given you visibilty of 3-4 meters (because 57 cm is too low:)). So develop a powerful blower instead to blow away the fog. Simple Solution.
