Research summary
AI-generated

Fanglin Bao works on thermal imaging and computational sensing, developing methods to extract more information from heat-based images—such as separating temperature, material properties, and texture—and applying ideas from quantum optics to improve imaging systems. This includes work on 'seeing in the dark' using thermal infrared cameras, reducing image blur and artifacts, and building datasets and benchmarks to test these methods.
