Scientists in China have developed a new technique for creating 3D ghost images through the use of lidar that include single simple pixels. Using the techniques, whole scenes can be evaluated within a single pixel – reducing large points for whole scenes to a much lower number, perhaps 50,000. “Compared with two-dimensional imaging, three-dimensional imaging [...]
