Abstract:

In this paper, we develop a personalized video relighting algorithm that produces high-quality and temporally consistent relit videos under any pose, expression, and lighting condition in real-time. Existing relighting algorithms typically rely either on publicly available synthetic data, which yields poor relighting results or on actual light stage data which is difficult to acquire. We show that by just capturing recordings of a user watching YouTube videos on a monitor we can train a personalized algorithm capable of performing high-quality relighting under any condition. Our key contribution is a novel image-based neural relighting architecture that effectively separates the intrinsic appearance features - the geometry and reflectance of the face - from the source lighting and then combines them with the target lighting to generate a relit image. This neural architecture enables smoothing of intrinsic appearance features leading to temporally stable video relighting. Both qualitative and quantitative evaluations show that our architecture improves portrait image relighting quality and temporal consistency over state-of-the-art approaches on both casually captured Light Stage at Your Desk' (LSYD) and light-stage-capturedOne Light At a Time' (OLAT) datasets.
