Multi-View Image-Based Relighting Suite

Participants : Clement Riant, Sylvain Duchêne, Adrien Bousseau, George Drettakis.

We have continued our development of a set of libraries for handling multi-view image-based relighting algorithms. These constitute the basis for the relighting methods developed for the EU projects VERVE and CR-PLAY.

This software package includes a set of modules for processing point clouds and meshes produced by automatic multi-view stereo computer vision solutions. It includes all file management, point cloud and mesh handling, as well as ray-tracing using the Intel Embree ray tracer to compute illumination properties on the mesh. An interactive viewer is also included. A new intrinsic image approach is included as well as a module for relighting and shadow movement, based on an image-driven approach to moving cast shadows.
