Body normal network light and rendering control

This invention describes a system that can digitally change how a fashion item appears in a photograph. It works by first identifying the item on a person and then calculating the 3D orientation of its surface from the image. Using this information, the system can then virtually re-light the item and render new reflections, making it look as if light is hitting it from a different direction.

Why it matters: Since 2021, significant advancements in neural networks for single-image 3D reconstruction and implicit neural representations have made estimating pixel angles and re-rendering lighting effects more robust. This could simplify the complex computer vision and rendering tasks described in the claims.

Status: Not in forceListed as no longer active. The specific reason is not in the record we hold.
How hard to build: SpecializedComplex computer vision and rendering software system.
