• Abstract: We present a method that takes as input a set of images of a scene illuminated by unconstrained known lighting, and produces as output a 3D representation that can be rendered from novel viewpoints under arbitrary lighting conditions. Our method represents the scene as a continuous volumetric function parameterized as MLPs whose inputs are a 3D location and whose outputs are the following scene properties at that input location: volume density, surface normal, material parameters, distance to the first surface intersection in any direction, and visibility of the external environment in any direction. Together, these allow us to render novel views of the object under arbitrary lighting, including indirect illumination effects. The predicted visibility and surface intersection fields are critical to our model's ability to simulate direct and indirect illumination during training, because the brute-force techniques used by prior work are intractable for lighting conditions outside of controlled setups with a single light. Our method outperforms alternative approaches for recovering relightable 3D scene representations, and performs well in complex lighting settings that have posed a significant challenge to prior work.

  We propose a novel method for representing a scene illuminated by a point light using a set of relightable 3D Gaussian points. Inspired by the Blinn-Phong model, our approach decomposes the scene into ambient, diffuse, and specular components. To facilitate the decomposition of geometric information independent of lighting conditions, we introduce a novel bilevel optimization-based meta-learning framework.

  We propose a method for scene relighting under novel views by learning a neural precomputed radiance transfer function. Our method can be solely supervised on a set of real images of the scene under a single unknown lighting condition. Results show that the recovered disentanglement of scene parameters improves significantly over the current state of the art.

  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 explicitly model the light transport between scene surfaces and we rely on traditional integration schemes and the rendering equation to reconstruct a scene. By learning decomposed transport with surface representations established in conventional rendering methods, the method naturally facilitates editing shape, reflectance, lighting and scene composition. We validate the proposed approach for scene editing, relighting and reflectance estimation learned from synthetic and captured views on a subset of NeRV's datasets.

  We present a deep learning solution for estimating the incident illumination at any 3D location within a scene from an input narrow-baseline stereo image pair. Our model is trained without any ground truth 3D data and only requires a held-out perspective view near the input stereo pair and a spherical panorama taken within each scene as supervision. We demonstrate that our method can predict consistent spatially-varying lighting that is convincing enough to plausibly relight and insert highly specular virtual objects into real images.
