RelightFormer: Feed-forward Generative Transformer for Multiview Object Relighting
Quick summary
arXiv:2609.07414v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Image relighting is traditionally tackled via complex inverse rendering pipelines, which suffer from ill-posed optimization, or single-image generative models that ignore crucial multi-view cues necessary for understanding 3D geometry and material interactions. To address these limitations, we introduce a feed-forward generative Transformer for direct single- and multi-view image relighting that entirely bypasses explicit intrinsic property estimation. Adapted from a video foundation model, our architecture features a latent illumination module
