ABSTRACT
This work proposes and evaluates a method of image-based rendering for integrating light-emitting CG assets with digital photography. The framework consists of a capture stage, in which footage of the scene under varied lighting is acquired, and a reconstruction stage, which outputs the calculated light contribution of the CG element upon the scene. This form of relighting is novel as it embraces scenarios where the light source is intended to be in the frame. The freedom to introduce emissive objects in post opens creative room for light animation and was assessed here as employed in the production of a stop-motion short-film.

Relighting with the Reflected Irradiance Field: Representation, Sampling and Reconstruction
Image-based relighting (IBL) is a technique to change the illumination of an image-based object/scene. In this paper, we define a representation called the reflected irradiance field which records the light reflected from a scene as viewed at a fixed ...
