Aerial Image Relighting: Simulating Time of Day Variations
نویسندگان
چکیده
We present a technique for simulating variations in appearance of aerial images at different sun angles. The input to the algorithm is a single aerial image with information on the orientation of surfaces in the image. The location, date, and time at which the photograph was taken are also needed by the algorithm. The appearance of the aerial image at a new sun angle is synthesized by compensating for the direct sunlight component in the original image, and then relighting the image with sunlight from the new sun position. Techniques to remove cast shadows are also described. We demonstrate our results with images, and animations of changing lighting in aerial photographs as the sun follows a trajectory across the sky.

A survey of image-based relighting techniques
Image-based Relighting (IBRL) has recently attracted a lot of research interest for its ability to relight real objects or scenes, from novel illuminations captured in natural/synthetic environments. Complex lighting effects such as subsurface scattering, interreflection, shadowing, mesostructural self-occlusion, refraction and other relevant phenomena can be generated using IBRL. The main adva...
متن کاملNear Light Correction for Image Relighting and 3D Shape Recovery
In this paper, we propose a near-light illumination model for image relighting and 3D shape recovery. Classic methods such as used by the popular RTI software from Cultural Heritage Imaging assume that lighting is infinitely far away from the scene. However, this constraint is impossible to achieve in practice: light sources cannot be too far away from the scene due to space and power constrain...
متن کاملA Model-Based Approach to Image Relighting with a Potential for Real-Time Implementation
Image relighting is a very unique special visual effect which promises to have many important practical applications. Image relighting is essentially the process of, given one or more images of some scene, computing what that scene would look like under some other (arbitrary) lighting conditions, e.g., changing positions and colors of light sources. Image relighting can for example be used for ...

متن کاملPCA-based compression for image-based relighting
The ability to change illumination is a crucial factor in image-based modeling and rendering. Image-based relighting offers such capability. However, the trade-off is the enormous increase of storage requirement. In this paper, we propose a compression scheme that effectively reduces the data volume while maintaining the real-time relighting capability. The proposed method is based on principal...
