Methods and systems are provided for determining high-dynamic range lighting parameters for input low-dynamic range images. A neural network system can be trained to estimate high-dynamic range lighting parameters for input low-dynamic range images. The high-dynamic range lighting parameters can be based on sky color, sky turbidity, sun color, sun shape, and sun position. Such input low-dynamic range images can be low-dynamic range panorama images or low-dynamic range standard images. Such a neural network system can apply the estimates high-dynamic range lighting parameters to objects added to the low-dynamic range images.

Learning from estimated high-dynamic range all weather lighting parameters

Methods and systems are provided for determining high-dynamic range lighting parameters for input low-dynamic range images. A neural network system can be trained to estimate lighting parameters for input images where the input images are synthetic and real low-dynamic range images. Such a neural network system can be trained using differences between a simple scene rendered using the estimated lighting parameters and the same simple scene rendered using known ground-truth lighting parameters. Such a neural network system can also be trained such that the synthetic and real low-dynamic range images are mapped in roughly the same distribution. Such a trained neural network system can be used to input a low-dynamic range image determine high-dynamic range lighting parameters.
