• Abstract: Reconstructing an object from photos and placing it virtually in a new environment goes beyond the standard novel view synthesis task as the appearance of the object has to not only adapt to the novel viewpoint but also to the new lighting conditions and yet evaluations of inverse rendering methods rely on novel view synthesis data or simplistic synthetic datasets for quantitative analysis. This work presents a real-world dataset for measuring the reconstruction and rendering of objects for relighting. To this end, we capture the environment lighting and ground truth images of the same objects in multiple environments allowing to reconstruct the objects from images taken in one environment and quantify the quality of the rendered views for the unseen lighting environments. Further, we introduce a simple baseline composed of off-the-shelf methods and test several state-of-the-art methods on the relighting task and show that novel view synthesis is not a reliable proxy to measure performance.

  Single image scene relighting aims to generate a realistic new version of an input image so that it appears to be illuminated by a new target light condition. We propose two new datasets: a synthetic dataset with the ground truth of intrinsic components and a real dataset collected under laboratory conditions. Our method outperforms the state-of-the-art methods in performance, as tested on both existing datasets and our newly developed datasets.

  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 study the problem of object discovery -- separating objects from the background without manual labels. Existing approaches utilize appearance cues, such as color, texture, and location, to group pixels into object-like regions. We choose to focus on dynamic objects -- entities that can move independently in the world.

  This paper identifies and addresses a serious design bias of existing salient object detection (SOD) datasets. This design bias has led to a saturation in performance for state-of-the-art SOD models when evaluated on existing datasets. We propose a new high-quality dataset and update the previous saliency benchmark.
