The visibility function in direct illumination describes the binary visibility over a light source, e.g., an environment map. Intuitively, the visibility is often strongly correla...
Abstract. Illumination variation is one of intractable yet crucial problems in face recognition and many lighting normalization approaches have been proposed in the past decades. N...

In this work, we investigate how illuminant estimation techniques can be improved, taking into account automatically extracted information about the content of the images. We consi...
The problem of estimating an illumination distribution from images is called inverse lighting. For inverse lighting, three approaches have been developed based on specular reflect...
