LumiGAN: Unconditional Generation of Relightable 3D Human Faces
Authors:Boyang Deng, Yifan Wang, Gordon Wetzstein
Unsupervised learning of 3D human faces from unstructured 2D image data is an active research area. While recent works have achieved an impressive level of photorealism, they commonly lack control of lighting, which prevents the generated assets from being deployed in novel environments. To this end, we introduce LumiGAN, an unconditional Generative Adversarial Network (GAN) for 3D human faces with a physically based lighting module that enables relighting under novel illumination at inference time. Unlike prior work, LumiGAN can create realistic shadow effects using an efficient visibility formulation that is learned in a self-supervised manner. LumiGAN generates plausible physical properties for relightable faces, including surface normals, diffuse albedo, and specular tint without any ground truth data. In addition to relightability, we demonstrate significantly improved geometry generation compared to state-of-the-art non-relightable 3D GANs and notably better photorealism than existing relightable GANs.

EverLight: Indoor-Outdoor Editable HDR Lighting Estimation
Authors:Mohammad Reza Karimi Dastjerdi, Yannick Hold-Geoffroy, Jonathan Eisenmann, Jean-François Lalonde
Because of the diversity in lighting environments, existing illumination estimation techniques have been designed explicitly on indoor or outdoor environments. Methods have focused specifically on capturing accurate energy (e.g., through parametric lighting models), which emphasizes shading and strong cast shadows; or producing plausible texture (e.g., with GANs), which prioritizes plausible reflections. Approaches which provide editable lighting capabilities have been proposed, but these tend to be with simplified lighting models, offering limited realism. In this work, we propose to bridge the gap between these recent trends in the literature, and propose a method which combines a parametric light model with 360{\deg} panoramas, ready to use as HDRI in rendering engines. We leverage recent advances in GAN-based LDR panorama extrapolation from a regular image, which we extend to HDR using parametric spherical gaussians. To achieve this, we introduce a novel lighting co-modulation method that injects lighting-related features throughout the generator, tightly coupling the original or edited scene illumination within the panorama generation process. In our representation, users can easily edit light direction, intensity, number, etc. to impact shading while providing rich, complex reflections while seamlessly blending with the edits. Furthermore, our method encompasses indoor and outdoor environments, demonstrating state-of-the-art results even when compared to domain-specific methods.

Ray Conditioning: Trading Photo-consistency for Photo-realism in Multi-view Image Generation
Authors:Eric Ming Chen, Sidhanth Holalkere, Ruyu Yan, Kai Zhang, Abe Davis
Multi-view image generation attracts particular attention these days due to its promising 3D-related applications, e.g., image viewpoint editing. Most existing methods follow a paradigm where a 3D representation is first synthesized, and then rendered into 2D images to ensure photo-consistency across viewpoints. However, such explicit bias for photo-consistency sacrifices photo-realism, causing geometry artifacts and loss of fine-scale details when these methods are applied to edit real images. To address this issue, we propose ray conditioning, a geometry-free alternative that relaxes the photo-consistency constraint. Our method generates multi-view images by conditioning a 2D GAN on a light field prior. With explicit viewpoint control, state-of-the-art photo-realism and identity consistency, our method is particularly suited for the viewpoint editing task.

TR0N: Translator Networks for 0-Shot Plug-and-Play Conditional Generation
Authors:Zhaoyan Liu, Noel Vouitsis, Satya Krishna Gorti, Jimmy Ba, Gabriel Loaiza-Ganem
We propose TR0N, a highly general framework to turn pre-trained unconditional generative models, such as GANs and VAEs, into conditional models. The conditioning can be highly arbitrary, and requires only a pre-trained auxiliary model. For example, we show how to turn unconditional models into class-conditional ones with the help of a classifier, and also into text-to-image models by leveraging CLIP. TR0N learns a lightweight stochastic mapping which “translates” between the space of conditions and the latent space of the generative model, in such a way that the generated latent corresponds to a data sample satisfying the desired condition. The translated latent samples are then further improved upon through Langevin dynamics, enabling us to obtain higher-quality data samples. TR0N requires no training data nor fine-tuning, yet can achieve a zero-shot FID of 10.9 on MS-COCO, outperforming competing alternatives not only on this metric, but also in sampling speed — all while retaining a much higher level of generality. Our code is available at https://github.com/layer6ai-labs/tr0n.

ContraNeRF: 3D-Aware Generative Model via Contrastive Learning with Unsupervised Implicit Pose Embedding
Authors:Mijeoong Kim, Hyunjoon Lee, Bohyung Han
Although 3D-aware GANs based on neural radiance fields have achieved competitive performance, their applicability is still limited to objects or scenes with the ground-truths or prediction models for clearly defined canonical camera poses. To extend the scope of applicable datasets, we propose a novel 3D-aware GAN optimization technique through contrastive learning with implicit pose embeddings. To this end, we first revise the discriminator design and remove dependency on ground-truth camera poses. Then, to capture complex and challenging 3D scene structures more effectively, we make the discriminator estimate a high-dimensional implicit pose embedding from a given image and perform contrastive learning on the pose embedding. The proposed approach can be employed for the dataset, where the canonical camera pose is ill-defined because it does not look up or estimate camera poses. Experimental results show that our algorithm outperforms existing methods by large margins on the datasets with multiple object categories and inconsistent canonical camera poses.

Make It So: Steering StyleGAN for Any Image Inversion and Editing
Authors:Anand Bhattad, Viraj Shah, Derek Hoiem, D. A. Forsyth
StyleGAN’s disentangled style representation enables powerful image editing by manipulating the latent variables, but accurately mapping real-world images to their latent variables (GAN inversion) remains a challenge. Existing GAN inversion methods struggle to maintain editing directions and produce realistic results. To address these limitations, we propose Make It So, a novel GAN inversion method that operates in the $\mathcal{Z}$ (noise) space rather than the typical $\mathcal{W}$ (latent style) space. Make It So preserves editing capabilities, even for out-of-domain images. This is a crucial property that was overlooked in prior methods. Our quantitative evaluations demonstrate that Make It So outperforms the state-of-the-art method PTI~\cite{roich2021pivotal} by a factor of five in inversion accuracy and achieves ten times better edit quality for complex indoor scenes.
