New inverse rendering method combines static and flash lighting

Researchers have developed a new method for inverse rendering that combines static and flash lighting from casual indoor captures to recover geometry, materials, and lighting. This approach uses a GS-anchored diffuse field, a hash-encoded MLP queried at the rasterized 2DGS depth, to improve material decomposition. The method outperforms six recent baselines on synthetic and real indoor scenes, showing significant improvements in diffuse color, albedo, roughness, and relighting. AI

IMPACT This research advances inverse rendering techniques, potentially improving 3D scene reconstruction and material property estimation from images.

    Casual Flash Lighting for Gaussian Splat Inverse Rendering

    Recovering geometry, materials, and lighting from photographs is highly ambiguous when only static illumination is available. Active-lighting setups reduce the ambiguity but require dark rooms or specialized hardware. Instead, we synergize both static and flash lighting from casu…
