Room mapping technology

Room mapping technology will help you map the entire room

Researchers at Stanford University have invented an innovative way to create a map of an entire room by surveying it with a keyhole. This also applies to objects that are in the room. Who would have thought that the keyhole would have such a variety of uses in the future! How is this possible? First of all, the specialists used their knowledge of pulsed light technology. These pulses are reflected on the surface to return later to the camera’s sensors. Next, we engage a special algorithm that determines the amount of time it takes for the reflected light to return to the sensor. This will allow you to generate an image of all items. In this way, we can map a room with objects that are normally hidden from view.

Useful technology for the police and military

During the tests, researchers from Stanford obtained a similar shape of the hidden dummy and the letters hidden in the beam of light used by the imaging mechanism. In what areas of life will the discussed invention work? First of all, it can be extremely useful especially in the field of military and police. Room mapping technology will allow you to protect yourself from a potential trap or effectively rescue hostages. Let us remember, however, that traditional keyholes are no longer used in this area. The most possible application of the discussed technology is to assist with an autonomous car. It allows you to detect without our interference what is located where our eyesight does not reach.
