  • Volumetric performance capture with relighting
    Patent number: 12066282
    Abstract: A lighting stage includes a plurality of lights that project alternating spherical color gradient illumination patterns onto an object or human performer at a predetermined frequency. The lighting stage also includes a plurality of cameras that capture images of an object or human performer corresponding to the alternating spherical color gradient illumination patterns. The lighting stage also includes a plurality of depth sensors that capture depth maps of the object or human performer at the predetermined frequency. The lighting stage also includes (or is associated with) one or more processors that implement a machine learning algorithm to produce a three-dimensional (3D) model of the object or human performer. The 3D model includes relighting parameters used to relight the 3D model under different lighting conditions.
