- Neural Radiance Fields For Outdoor Scene Relighting | FourthPortal
< Back Neural Radiance Fields For Outdoor Scene Relighting Photorealistic editing of outdoor scenes from photographs requires a profound understanding of the image formation process and an accurate estimation of the scene geometry, reflectance and illumination. The technique allows simultaneous editing of both scene illumination and camera viewpoint using only a collection of outdoor photos shot in uncontrolled settings. European Conference on Computer Vision (ECCV) 2022 6 Jan 2024 Abstract Photorealistic editing of outdoor scenes from photographs requires a profound understanding of the image formation process and an accurate estimation of the scene geometry, reflectance and illumination. A delicate manipulation of the lighting can then be performed while keeping the scene albedo and geometry unaltered. We present NeRF-OSR, i.e., the first approach for outdoor scene relighting based on neural radiance fields. In contrast to the prior art, our technique allows simultaneous editing of both scene illumination and camera viewpoint using only a collection of outdoor photos shot in uncontrolled settings. Moreover, it enables direct control over the scene illumination, as defined through a spherical harmonics model. It also includes a dedicated network for shadow reproduction, which is crucial for high-quality outdoor scene relighting. To evaluate the proposed method, we collect a new benchmark dataset of several outdoor sites, where each site is photographed from multiple viewpoints and at different timings. For each timing, a 360° environment map is captured together with a colour-calibration chequerboard to allow accurate numerical evaluations on real data against ground truth. Comparisons against state of the art show that NeRF-OSR enables controllable light and viewpoint editing at higher quality and with realistic self-shadowing reproduction. Our method and the dataset are publicly available in the Downloads section below. https://4dqv.mpi-inf.mpg.de/NeRF-OSR/ For more: Design, AI, NeRF, Machine Learning, Neural Network, 3D Visualisation Previous Next

- Coastal Electronauts Estuary Waves
Coastal Electronauts' Estuary Waves brought a night of hypnotic electronics and immersive visuals to Fourth Portal. A diverse lineup of artists delivered experimental soundscapes, deep drones, and glitch-infused performances, creating a rich, atmospheric experience. Coastal Electronauts Estuary Waves < Back 26 April 2024 Coastal Electronauts' Estuary Waves brought a night of hypnotic electronics and immersive visuals to Fourth Portal. A diverse lineup of artists delivered experimental soundscapes, deep drones, and glitch-infused performances, creating a rich, atmospheric experience. Previous Next The Coastal Electronauts' Estuary Waves at Fourth Portal was marked by a powerful performance from Graham Dowdall, known as Gagarin, who sadly passed on 16 June 2024, soon after this event. His set blended deep ambient textures with atmospheric soundscapes, a poignant reminder of his immense talent and immersive performance. Estuary Waves featured a diverse lineup from the Coastal Electronauts' collective, including Sophie Sirota’s haunting melodies, Shape Navigator’s intricate sonic explorations, and AnalogueMechanic’s unpredictable synth improvisations. Smelliott’s glitch-infused set, the Freegk Brothers’ hypnotic drones, and whthponsfpshthtbttn?'s provocative fusion of noise added to the night’s experimental energy. Visual artist diz_qo’s reactive projections seamlessly synchronised each performance with the stunning architecture of St. Andrew's, home to the Fourth Portal. The evening was a rich, immersive tribute to experimental sound, with Gagarin’s set leaving a lasting impression on all who attended. Watch excerpts below. Gagarin – A pioneering electronic artist, Gagarin performed an atmospheric set filled with deep ambient textures. Blending field recordings with experimental rhythms, he created an immersive sonic journey. Sophie Sirota – A classically trained musician, Sophie Sirota explored the intersection of experimental electronics and contemporary composition. Her performance wove haunting melodies with layered textures, producing an ethereal yet powerful soundscape. Shape Navigator – Shape Navigator pushed the boundaries of sonic abstraction with a dynamic electronic set. Using modular synthesis and evolving loops, their performance transported the audience through intricate, shifting sound environments. A nalogueMechanic – Specialising in hardware-driven improvisation, AnalogueMechanic crafted evolving sequences using vintage synths and custom-built effects. His set explored raw sound, balancing structure with unpredictability. smelliott – Smelliott delivered an experimental set blending glitch aesthetics and fractured rhythms. Merging lo-fi textures with intricate beat structures, he offered a unique take on electronic composition. Freegk Brothers – The Freegk Brothers performed a hypnotic set combining drone and pulsating electronic rhythms. Their music created an expansive, trance-like atmosphere, drawing from avant-garde and psychedelic influences. whthponsfpshthtbttn? – A cryptically named artist, whthponsfpshthtbttn? presented a boundary-pushing live set. Fusing noise, spoken word, and manipulated audio fragments, they delivered a provocative and immersive experience. diz_qo (Visuals) – Visual artist diz_qo provided abstract, reactive projections that synchronised with the live performances.
