New SkyLume Dataset Tackles 3D Urban Reconstruction Under Varying Light

By PulseAugur Editorial · [1 sources] ·

Researchers have introduced SkyLume, a large-scale aerial dataset designed to address challenges in 3D urban scene reconstruction under varying illumination conditions. The dataset comprises over 100,000 high-resolution UAV images captured across 10 urban regions at three different times of day to isolate illumination changes. It also includes per-scene LiDAR scans and ground-truth data for precise evaluation of geometry and appearance. Additionally, a new metric called the Temporal Consistency Coefficient (TCC) has been proposed to measure albedo stability and evaluate the disentanglement of light and material. AI

IMPACT This dataset aims to advance research in large-scale inverse rendering, geometry reconstruction, and novel view synthesis by providing a standardized resource for evaluating illumination-robust 3D reconstruction techniques.

    Beyond a Single Light: A Large-Scale Aerial Dataset for Urban Scene Reconstruction Under Varying Illumination

    arXiv:2512.14200v3 Announce Type: replace Abstract: Recent advances in Neural Radiance Fields and 3D Gaussian Splatting have demonstrated strong potential for large-scale UAV-based 3D reconstruction tasks by fitting the appearance of images. However, real-world large-scale captur…
