CSI-Inpainter: Enabling Visual Scene Recovery from CSI Time Sequences for Occlusion Removal
Introducing CSI-Inpainter, a pioneering approach for occlusion removal using Channel State Information (CSI) time sequences, this work propels the application of wireless signal processing into the realm of visual scene recovery. Departing from traditional occlusion removal, CSI-Inpainter leverages CSI data to construct and refine obscured visual elements in a scene, facilitating recovery independent of lighting conditions. Validated through comprehensive testing in both office and industrial environments, CSI-Inpainter demonstrates a robust capacity for discerning and reconstructing occluded segments, establishing a new frontier for obstacle removal. This first-of-its-kind framework offers a transformative perspective on how environmental visual information can be extracted from CSI, thereby broadening the scope for computer vision applications in everyday contexts.
