Image Based Proximate Shadow Retargeting (2018)
Presentation / Conference Contribution
Casas, L., Fauconneau, M., Kosek, M., Mclister, K., & Mitchell, K. (2018, September). Image Based Proximate Shadow Retargeting. Presented at Computer Graphics & Visual Computing (CGVC) 2018, Swansea University, United Kingdom

We introduce Shadow Retargeting which maps real shadow appearance to virtual shadows given a corresponding deformation of scene geometry, such that appearance is seamlessly maintained. By performing virtual shadow reconstruction from un-occluded real... Read More about Image Based Proximate Shadow Retargeting.
