• Abstract: Humans have the remarkable ability to construct consistent mental models of an environment, even under limited or varying levels of illumination. We wish to endow robots with this same capability. In this paper, we tackle the challenge of constructing a photorealistic scene representation under poorly illuminated conditions and with a moving light source. We approach the task of modeling illumination as a learning problem, and utilize the developed illumination model to aid in scene reconstruction. We introduce an innovative framework that uses a data-driven approach, Neural Light Simulators (NeLiS), to model and calibrate the camera-light system. Furthermore, we present DarkGS, a method that applies NeLiS to create a relightable 3D Gaussian scene model capable of real-time, photorealistic rendering from novel viewpoints. We show the applicability and robustness of our proposed simulator and system in a variety of real-world environments.

  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.

  Novel texture synthesis for existing 3D mesh models is an important step towards photo realistic asset generation for simulators. Existing methods inherently work in the 2D image space which is the projection of the 3D space from a given camera perspective. We present a new system called a graph generative adversarial network (GGAN) that can generate textures which can be directly integrated into a given 3D mesh models with tools like Blender and Unreal Engine.

  We address the problem of jointly estimating albedo, normals, depth and 3D spatially-varying lighting from a single image.

We propose a unified, learning-based inverse framework that formulates 3D spatially-varying lighting.
