In the future, your car windshield could become a giant camera sensing objects on the road. Or each window in a home could be turned into a security camera.
University of Utah electrical and computer engineers have discovered a way to create an optics-less camera in which a regular pane of glass or any see-through window can become the lens.
Their innovation was detailed in a research paper, "Computational Imaging Enables a 'See-Through' Lensless Camera," published in the newest issue of Optics Express. A copy of the paper, which was co-authored by University of Utah electrical and computer engineering graduate Ganghun Kim, can be downloaded here.
