Vision System Sees Through Clouds and Fog

Using hardware similar to what enables autonomous cars to “see” the world around them, researchers have developed a system that can see through clouds and fog. They enhanced the system with an algorithm that can reconstruct three-dimensional hidden scenes based on the movement of individual particles of light, or photons. In tests, the system successfully reconstructed shapes obscured by 1"-thick foam. To the human eye, it’s like seeing through walls.
