  • Is it possible to reconstruct sound from high-speed video images?
    Part of this video was sponsored by LastPass: bit.ly/2SmRQkk
    Special thanks to Dr. Abe Davis for revisiting his research with me: abedavis.com
    This video was based on research by Dr. Abe Davis and colleagues. I found out about this work years ago and was fascinated by the way he was able to capture vibration information in image-only video. I always imagined the motions of objects would be visible as when recording a tuning fork in slow motion - so deriving sound from high speed images seemed a feasible task. But the reality is much more difficult.
    Sound vibrations only cause objects to wiggle by about a micrometer. This is much smaller than a pixel, so the algorithm must understand the characteristics of the image. A move in one direction should cause some pixels to lighten slightly, while others darken - and this behavior is correlated along the edges of the image. So noise can be reduced because it's random over the image and there are enough places to sample that you can get it to cancel out.
    Something I'm wondering now is - would it be possible to capture sound in a single image? I'm thinking it would have to be an image of a large object or space because the wavelengths of typical sounds are quite long. Maybe a high frequency sound could be imaged in a suitable medium...

      Decades ago I read about an eavesdropping rig that bounced a laser off a window and could detect the variations in the reflected beams to capture every spoken word inside the room. Curtains, blinds and such did not stop the glass from acting as a speaker diaphragm. Its only distance limit was the spread of the laser beam- the beam spot on the glass had to be some percentage smaller than the sheet of glass you were aiming it at.

      @@expertoflizardcorrugation3967 I don’t know a lot about this- but my understanding of how laser ranging works is that a frosted window would scatter the light, which would only make it easier to pick up the unique wavelength in more than one location. For example, soldiers using a laser target designator fire a laser at something they want a bomb to hit… the laser light reflects off in all sorts of directions, and the sensor on the bomb can detect this light and home in on the object reflecting the light. Because the laser light is a coherent beam from the designator- the bomb can’t see that beam and so won’t steer towards the soldiers, but it Can see the light that is scattered off of the object because it has been scattered off in all directions. The bomb can see the laser light bouncing off the object from anywhere.
      Similarly, a laser eavesdropper would simply be looking for the interference pattern in the reflected light versus the initial beam to detect how the window pane is vibrating from sound inside the room. I would think the best way to interdict such a system would be to coat the windows in something like Fanta Black that absorbs ALL light that hots it… but then, it wouldn’t be much of a window, would it?

    Very interesting video. Sure, the sound signal is subject to Nyquist sampling constraints. Each observation from the image is effectively the output from a planar microphone. Consider taking observations from >1 spot from the images. Observing multiple vibrations of the planar microphone across the surfaces will effectively multiply the sampling frequency by the number of observations. The wave pressure will be smeared in time across the image at the speed of sound. It might be possible to reconstruct some directional information as well by noting the progress of the wavefronts across the scene. Microphones arranged across multiple planes (e.g. x-y, y-z, x-z), will observe different signals. It might be possible to improve direction-finding accuracy by modulating the orientation of the planar microphones (like a dog cocking its ears). Since you know the medium (sound in air at some temperature), you are also getting information about how observed signals vary over time..

    If you can measure what the sound wave should look like on its own, you should be able to take that and compare it to how it travels through the actual matter, and cross check the actual vibration.
    It'd be a 3d sound projection, which is a great way to take the 2d imaging we use to visualize waves into their 3d shape.

    If you tracked the path of the sound, you could recover more depth... ie: if sound is coming from one direction - you can get more information instead of just looking at a small segment. The small segment is good for the proof of concept. Then, colliding soundwaves for sounds coming from more than one location... it means tracking all possible moveable elements in the video and then you can use less frames because the more flexible material throughout the scene, the more you can capture per frame.

      yeah, but in that episode it was like that sound was kinda engraved into objects AFTER it was played. Like a quantum vinyl.

    Recording car audio subwoofer could offer a much easier start (lots of movement and low frequencies; perfect for a fairly low speed footage). This could help adjust the software. I know it's not quite the same thing but pretty close and it allows you to adjust the volume and with that, the amount of movement; from minimal; similar to what they get with Al foil, to very visible; millimeters or even a few cm. Also, various objects or surfaces could be attached to the speaker's cone to see how they behave (maybe even with different lighting conditions) and this could also help improve the software.
    Also; Applied Science has made a video, where he was able to record music from vibrations of a window of a room where the sound source was located. He used reflected laser light as a way to capture the movement.

    Sound through a 3D structured object can be an alternative to describe images without light, only instead with vibration waves, such as sound, its a similarity to radar to Identity 3D over just seeing it, so sound will offer differ ways to identify, for example sonars, if ampified, can bypass limitations on some structure.

    For the foil test you could use a foil membrane over the speaker with the shiny side up. Then you point a light to reflect of the foil and into the camera. Then as the speaker moves the amount of light received by the camera would change in correlation to the compression and rarefaction. Then you could correlate light levels to sound waves since it should be a very clear distinction. It's the same that was used here. But this way you can be certain that your camera will pick it up the first try.

    it reminds me of the research involving wifi waves imaging, where with the waves behavior hitting objects, it's possible to see the objects. If it was high resolution enough, it could be possible to listen to sound hitting objects detected with the wifi waves... or maybe sound could directly affect the waves even.
