New LAMP framework uses VLMs for 3D source-aware lighting estimation

Researchers have developed LAMP, a new framework that uses vision-language models to estimate lighting conditions in 3D scenes. Unlike previous methods that focused on overall illumination for rendering, LAMP connects local lighting to its physical sources. By fine-tuning the Qwen3-VL-8B model, LAMP can identify contributing light sources for specific points in a scene and predict their 3D directions, achieving significant improvements in accuracy. AI

IMPACT This research advances scene understanding by enabling more accurate 3D lighting estimation, potentially improving realism in computer graphics and virtual environments.

    LAMP: 3D Source-Aware Lighting Estimation at Multiple Points

    arXiv:2610.19266v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Existing illumination estimation methods primarily recover lighting distributions for rendering, but typically leave the contributions of individual physical light sources at specific scene locations implicit. We address this gap by…
