• Abstract: We introduce a neural relighting algorithm for captured indoors scenes, that allows interactive free-viewpoint navigation. Our method allows illumination to be changed synthetically, while coherently rendering cast shadows and complex glossy materials. We start with multiple images of the scene and a 3D mesh obtained by multi-view stereo (MVS) reconstruction. We assume that lighting is well-explained as the sum of a view-independent diffuse component and a view-dependent glossy term concentrated around the mirror reflection direction. We design a convolutional network around input feature maps that facilitate learning of an implicit representation of scene materials and illumination, enabling both relighting and free-viewpoint navigation. We generate these input maps by exploiting the best elements of both image-based and physically-based rendering. We sample the input views to estimate diffuse scene irradiance, and compute the new illumination caused by user-specified light sources using path tracing. To facilitate the network's understanding of materials and synthesize plausible glossy reflections, we reproject the views and compute mirror images. We train the network on a synthetic dataset where each scene is also reconstructed with MVS. We show results of our algorithm relighting real indoor scenes and performing free-viewpoint navigation with complex and realistic glossy reflections, which so far remained out of reach for view-synthesis techniques.

  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 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 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.
