Researchers of MIT and Meta are developing a technique where a single, 2D picture can be used to create a 3D model. This research is being used for car safety systems, to detect potential hazards and blockages up ahead prior to a driver, improving road safety.

That’s great o hear! I really hope that this is going to improve road safety soon!
Wow, that sounds amazing! How exactly do they use shadows to infer the geometry and location of hidden objects? It seems like such a complex task—what kind of technology or algorithms are involved in making this possible?
