Abstract

An imaging system that is translucent can be achieved by placing an image sensor () at one of more edges or periphery of a translucent window (). A small fraction of light from the outside scene scatters off imperfections () in the translucent window () and reach the peripheral image sensor (). Based on appropriate calibration of the response of point sources () from the outside scene, the full scene can be reconstructed computationally from the peripherally scattered light (). The technique can be extended to color, multi-spectral, light-field, 3D, and polarization selective imaging. Applications can include surveillance, imaging for autonomous agents, microscopy, etc.
