Automated estimation of lighting conditions in real scenes for the seamless integration of virtual elements
Automated estimation of lighting conditions in real scenes for the seamless integration of virtual elements

NLIGHT aims to automatically estimate the lighting of a real scene in order to integrate virtual elements in a visually indistinguishable manner.  We intend to create new probabilistic and ML-based appriached, not only to extract the complete lighting of a real scene, but also to propose some innovative evaluation and comparison metrics. The project is potentionnally a game changer In the visual effects area for cinema production, by remarquably reducing the time required for the final compositing step (real/virtual integration).
