Femto-Photography: Imaging The World One Trillion Frames Per Second

Ramesh Raskar presents femto-photography, a new type of imaging so fast it visualizes the world one trillion frames per second, so detailed it shows light itself in motion. This technology may someday be used to build cameras that can look "around" corners or see inside the body without X-rays.

Ramesh Raskar is a Massachusetts Institute of Technology associate professor and head of the MIT Media Lab's Camera Culture research group. He received the TR100 Award from Technology Review and holds over three dozen patents.
His lab produced a number of extreme highspeed pictures using a femto-camera that took images at around one-trillion frames per second. It has also developed a camera to see around corners using bursts of laser light.
