• Title: People as Scene Probes
• Authors: Yifan Wang, Brian Curless, Steve Seitz
• Abstract summary: We show how to composite new objects into the same scene with a high degree of automation and realism. In particular, when a user places a new object (2D cut-out) in the image, it is automatically rescaled, relit, occluded properly, and casts realistic shadows in the correct direction relative to the sun.

• Abstract: By analyzing the motion of people and other objects in a scene, we demonstrate how to infer depth, occlusion, lighting, and shadow information from video taken from a single camera viewpoint. This information is then used to composite new objects into the same scene with a high degree of automation and realism. In particular, when a user places a new object (2D cut-out) in the image, it is automatically rescaled, relit, occluded properly, and casts realistic shadows in the correct direction relative to the sun, and which conform properly to scene geometry. We demonstrate results (best viewed in supplementary video) on a range of scenes and compare to alternative methods for depth estimation and shadow compositing.

  correct insertion of virtual objects in images of real-world scenes requires a deep understanding of the scene's lighting, geometry and materials. We propose using a personalized large diffusion model as guidance to a physically based inverse rendering process. Our method recovers scene lighting and tone-mapping parameters, allowing the photorealistic composition of arbitrary virtual objects in single frames or videos of indoor or outdoor scenes.

  PhotoScene is a framework that takes input image(s) of a scene and builds a photorealistic digital twin with high-quality materials and similar lighting. We model scene materials using procedural material graphs; such graphs represent photorealistic and resolution-independent materials. We evaluate our technique on objects and layout reconstructions from ScanNet, SUN RGB-D and stock photographs, and demonstrate that our method reconstructs high-quality, fully relightable 3D scenes.

  We present a method to edit complex indoor lighting from a single image with its predicted depth and light source segmentation masks. We tackle this problem using two novel components: 1) a holistic scene reconstruction method that estimates scene reflectance and parametric 3D lighting, and 2) a neural rendering framework that re-renders the scene from our predictions.

  We build on the idea of view synthesis, which uses classical camera geometry to re-render a source image from a different point-of-view. By minimizing the error between the synthetic image and the corresponding real image in a video, the deep network that predicts pose and depth can be trained completely unsupervised.

  We present a learning-based method for estimating 4D reflectance field of a person given video footage illuminated under a flat-lit environment of the same subject. We estimate the lighting environment of the input video footage and use the subject's reflectance field to create synthetic images of the subject illuminated by the input lighting environment. We evaluate our method on the video footage of the real Holocaust survivors and show that our method outperforms the state-of-the-art methods in both realism and speed.
