Augmented reality (AR) has proven to be an invaluable interactive medium to reduce
cognitive load by bridging the gap between the task-at-hand and relevant information by …

We address the problem of recovering the shape and spatially-varying reflectance of an
object from multi-view images (and their camera poses) of an object illuminated by one …

We present a framework to automatically detect and remove shadows in real world scenes
from a single image. Previous works on shadow detection put a lot of effort in designing …

We propose a method to realistically insert synthetic objects into existing photographs
without requiring access to the scene or any additional scene measurements. With a single …

Given a single outdoor image, we present a method for estimating the likely illumination
conditions of the scene. In particular, we compute the probability distribution over the sun …

Detecting shadows from images can significantly improve the performance of several vision
tasks such as object detection and tracking. Recent approaches have mainly used …

Generating virtual object shadows consistent with the real-world environment shading
effects is important but challenging in computer vision and augmented reality applications …
