Luma: Self-Supervised Realistic Lighting Estimation from Real Indoor Images

Estimating realistic indoor lighting from a single photograph remains challenging, because lighting is entangled with material and geometry. Previous methods still do not convey how the consistency and reflection of light is in real life or is computationally expensive. Luma aims to bridge the gap in existing light estimation methods by introducing a physics-grounded model trained with a physically-based differentiable renderer, to produce realistic lighting estimates from real indoor images.
