  • Patent number: 11657546
    Abstract: Introduced here are techniques for relighting an image by automatically segmenting a human object in an image. The segmented image is input to an encoder that transforms it into a feature space. The feature space is concatenated with coefficients of a target illumination for the image and input to an albedo decoder and a light transport detector to predict an albedo map and a light transport matrix, respectively. In addition, the output of the encoder is concatenated with outputs of residual parts of each decoder and fed to a light coefficients block, which predicts coefficients of the illumination for the image. The light transport matrix and predicted illumination coefficients are multiplied to obtain a shading map that can sharpen details of the image. Scaling the resulting image by the albedo map to produce the relight image. The relight image can be refined to denoise the relight image.
