VoRF: Volumetric Relightable Faces

P. Rao, M. B R, G. Fox, T. Weyrich, B. Bickel, H. Pfister, W. Matusik, A. Tewari, C. Theobalt and M. Elgharib

British Machine Vision Conference 2022 (BMVC)   —   BMVC 2022 (Best Paper Award Honourable Mention)

We present a volumetric relightable head model, which can igeneralize to unseen identities, even with a single input image.

Lite2Relight: 3D-aware Single Image Portrait Relighting

P. Rao, G. Fox, A. Meka, M. B R, F. Zhan, T. Weyrich, B. Bickel, H. Pfister, W. Matusik, M. Elgharib and C. Theobalt

ACM SIGGRAPH 2024 Conference Proceedings

We present a 3D portarit relighting method that can relight and synthesize novel views a monocular input image. In this work we show that by using a small limited lightstage dataset we can control and manipulate the lighting of a large 3D generator.
