Abstract
An electronic device and method for generation of reflectance maps for relightable 3D models is disclosed. The electronic device acquires multi-view image data that includes a set of images of an object and generates a 3D mesh of the object based on the multi-view image data. The electronic device obtains a set of motion-corrected images based on a minimization of a rigid motion associated with the object between images of the set of images and generates texture maps in a UV space based on the set of motion-corrected images and the 3D mesh. The electronic device obtains specular and diffuse reflectance maps based on a separation of specular and diffuse reflectance components from the texture maps, and obtains a relightable 3D model of the object based on the specular and diffuse reflectance maps.
