LightCrafter: PBR-Conditioned Video Diffusion Refinement for Controllable and Consistent Relighting
Reported by arXiv cs.CV: LightCrafter: PBR-Conditioned Video Diffusion Refinement for Controllable and Consistent Relighting. Analysis and context written by TickrWire.
arXiv:2607.08016v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Video relighting requires balancing long-form temporal consistency with a physically grounded understanding of light transport, which depends on accurate estimation of intrinsic scene properties such as materials, geometry, and illumination. Existing methods follow two paradigms: (1) reconstruct a video's photometric properties via inverse rendering and relight them to a target illumination via forward rendering, using physically-based rendering (PBR) or a neural renderer; these suffer from noisy reconstructions and struggle with hard-to-model e
