The article “Scientists Can Now Use WiFi to See Through People’s Walls” by Tim Newcomb discusses a breakthrough by researchers at Carnegie Mellon University. They have developed a method to map human bodies through walls using WiFi signals. This technology tracks key points on the body, extending previous research on using WiFi to locate humans, especially in low-light conditions.
The researchers created a deep neural network that maps WiFi signal data to UV coordinates on the human body, achieving results comparable to image-based approaches. This method offers a low-cost, accessible way to track humans through walls. Despite the potential privacy concerns, the researchers argue that this technology could be beneficial for privacy by reducing the need for more invasive tracking methods.
