LEARNING FROM ESTIMATED HIGH-DYNAMIC RANGE ALL WEATHER LIGHTING PARAMETERS

Abstract:

Methods and systems are provided for determining high-dynamic range lighting parameters for input low-dynamic range images. A neural network system can be trained to estimate high-dynamic range lighting parameters for input low-dynamic range images. The high-dynamic range lighting parameters can be based on sky color, sky turbidity, sun color, sun shape, and sun position. Such input low-dynamic range images can be low-dynamic range panorama images or low-dynamic range standard images. Such a neural network system can apply the estimates high-dynamic range lighting parameters to objects added to the low-dynamic range images.
