Object relighting using neural networks

Abstract

A messaging system performs image processing to relight objects with neural networks for images provided by users of the messaging system. A method of relighting objects with neural networks includes receiving an input image with first lighting properties comprising an object with second lighting properties and processing the input image using a convolutional neural network to generate an output image with the first lighting properties and comprising the object with third lighting properties, where the convolutional neural network is trained to modify the second lighting properties to be consistent with lighting conditions indicated by the first lighting properties to generate the third lighting properties. The method further includes modifying the second lighting properties of the object to generate the object with modified second lighting properties and blending the third lighting properties with the modified second lighting properties to generate a modified output image comprising the object with fourth lighting properties.
