• Abstract: We present GaSLight, a method that generates spatially-varying lighting from regular images. Our method proposes using HDR Gaussian Splats as light source representation, marking the first time regular images can serve as light sources in a 3D renderer. Our two-stage process first enhances the dynamic range of images plausibly and accurately by leveraging the priors embedded in diffusion models. Next, we employ Gaussian Splats to model 3D lighting, achieving spatially variant lighting. Our approach yields state-of-the-art results on HDR estimations and their applications in illuminating virtual objects and scenes. To facilitate the benchmarking of images as light sources, we introduce a novel dataset of calibrated and unsaturated HDR to evaluate images as light sources. We assess our method using a combination of this novel dataset and an existing dataset from the literature. Project page: https://lvsn.github.io/gaslight/

• EnvGS: Modeling View-Dependent Appearance with Environment Gaussian [78.74634059559891]
  EnvGS is a novel approach that employs a set of Gaussian primitives as an explicit 3D representation for capturing reflections of environments. To efficiently render these environment Gaussian primitives, we developed a ray-tracing-based reflection that leverages the GPU's RT core for fast rendering. Results from multiple real-world and synthetic datasets demonstrate that our method produces significantly more detailed reflections.

  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.

  This paper presents a 3D Gaussian Inverse Rendering (GIR) method, employing 3D Gaussian representations to factorize the scene into material properties, light, and geometry. We compute the normal of each 3D Gaussian using the shortest eigenvector, with a directional masking scheme forcing accurate normal estimation without external supervision. We adopt an efficient voxel-based indirect illumination tracing scheme that stores direction-aware outgoing radiance in each 3D Gaussian to disentangle secondary illumination for approximating multi-bounce light transport.

  Grounding referring expressions in RGBD image has been an emerging field. We present a novel task of 3D visual grounding in single-view RGBD image where the referred objects are often only partially scanned due to occlusion. Our approach first fuses the language and the visual features at the bottom level to generate a heatmap that localizes the relevant regions in the RGBD image. Then our approach conducts an adaptive feature learning based on the heatmap and performs the object-level matching with another visio-linguistic fusion to finally ground the referred object.
