Image-Based Relighting Framework is an open source GUI that implements three types of image-based relighting algorithms using reflectance data captured with either a light stage, a free-form acquisition or a regular room. It was implemented during my MSc thesis at Imperial College London in the Summer 2014. It is distributed under the LGPL license.

The framework implements the following papers :
- Acquiring the Reflectance Field of a Human Face, Paul Debevec, Tim Hawkins, Chris Tchou, Haarm-Pieter Duiker, Westley Sarokin, and Mark Sagar, SIGGRAPH 2000 Conference Proceedings
- The free-form light stage, Vincent Masselus, Philip Dutré, Frederik Anrys In Proc. EGWR, EGRW ’02, 247–256.
- Image-Based Relighting using Room Lighting Basis, Antoine Toisoul, Abhijeet Ghosh, CVMP 2016
Version 1.0
This program has been compiled and tested both on Windows, Linux and MacOS environments. It requires the following libraries in order to compile :
- OpenCV (tested with version 2.4.11)
- Qt (tested with version 5.4.2)
A "IBR_Framework.pro" file is provided for compilation with QtCreator IDE. Please update the libraries paths to match your installation.
The light stage data can be obtained on USC ICT website :
Please read appendix A of my MSc thesis for more information on how to setup the software.
For the environment mapping to work you will have to download the latitude longitude maps of the environment. Some are available at the following links :
Create a folder called "environment_maps" in the directory where the program is compiled and name the environment maps as follows :
| Environment | File Name |
|---|---|
| Grace Cathedral | grace_latlong |
| Uffizi Gallery | uffizi |
| St Peter's Basilica | stpeters_probe |
| Pisa Courtyard | pisa_courtyard |
| Eucalyptus Grove | eucalyptus_grove |
