OutCast: Relighting Outdoor Single Images with Cast Shadows

This relighting network allows changing the time of day in the photos. 

The researchers from Adobe and University College London demonstrated a new method of relighting outdoor images. OutCast uses a single image input and predicts cast shadows in arbitrary novel lighting directions while accounting for shading and global effects such as the sunlight color and clouds.

"We propose a learned image space ray-marching layer that converts the approximate depth map into a deep 3D representation that is fused into occlusion queries using a learned traversal," the researchers describe their creation.

What's especially impressive about the method is the fact that the network uses only one feature. It collects and joins the input image and several maps, including Normal, Cosine, Shadow, and Direction maps.

You can see the results by moving a slider that represents the sun position:
