  • Light estimation from video
    Patent number: 9076213
    Abstract: Embodiments of the invention include a method and/or system for determining the relative location of light sources in a video clip. The relative location of a light source can be determined from information found within the video clip. This can be determined from specular reflection on a planar surface within the video clip. An ellipse can be fit to glare that is indicative of specular reflection on the planar surface. An outgoing light angle can be determined from the ellipse. From this outgoing light angle, the incident light angle can be determined for the frame. From this incident light angle, the location of the light source can be determined.
