• Title: Shape, Light & Material Decomposition from Images using Monte Carlo Rendering and Denoising
• Authors: Jon Hasselgren, Nikolai Hofmann and Jacob Munkberg
• Abstract summary: We show that a more realistic shading model, incorporating ray tracing and Monte Carlo integration, substantially improves decomposition into shape, materials & lighting. We incorporate multiple importance sampling and denoising in a novel inverse rendering pipeline. This substantially improves convergence and enables gradient-based optimization at low sample counts.

• Abstract: Recent advances in differentiable rendering have enabled high-quality reconstruction of 3D scenes from multi-view images. Most methods rely on simple rendering algorithms: pre-filtered direct lighting or learned representations of irradiance. We show that a more realistic shading model, incorporating ray tracing and Monte Carlo integration, substantially improves decomposition into shape, materials & lighting. Unfortunately, Monte Carlo integration provides estimates with significant noise, even at large sample counts, which makes gradient-based inverse rendering very challenging. To address this, we incorporate multiple importance sampling and denoising in a novel inverse rendering pipeline. This substantially improves convergence and enables gradient-based optimization at low sample counts. We present an efficient method to jointly reconstruct geometry (explicit triangle meshes), materials, and lighting, which substantially improves material and light separation compared to previous work. We argue that denoising can become an integral part of high quality inverse rendering pipelines.

  We propose RelitLRM for generating high-quality Gaussian splatting representations of 3D objects under novel illuminations. Unlike prior inverse rendering methods requiring dense captures and slow optimization, RelitLRM adopts a feed-forward transformer-based model. We show our sparse-view feed-forward RelitLRM offers competitive relighting results to state-of-the-art dense-view optimization-based baselines.

• Denoising Monte Carlo Renders with Diffusion Models [5.228564799458042]
  Physically-based renderings contain Monte-Carlo noise, with variance that increases as the number of rays per pixel decreases. This noise, while zero-mean for good moderns, can have heavy tails. We demonstrate that a diffusion model can denoise low fidelity renders successfully.

  We consider the challenging problem of predicting intrinsic object properties from a single image by exploiting differentiables. In this work, we propose DIBR++, a hybrid differentiable which supports these effects by combining specularization and ray-tracing. Compared to more advanced physics-based differentiables, DIBR++ is highly performant due to its compact and expressive model.
