Illumination-Based Image Synthesis: Creating Novel Images of Human Faces Under Differing Pose and Lighting
Abstract
We present an illumination-based method for synthesizing images of an object under novel viewing conditions. Our method requires as few as three images of the object taken under variable illumination, but from a fixed viewpoint. Unlike multi-view based image synthesis, our method does not require the determination of point or line correspondences. Furthermore, our method is able to synthesize not simply novel view-points, but novel illumination conditions as well. We demonstrate the effectiveness of our approach by generating synthetic images of human faces.
