Mahdi H. Miangoleh, and Yağız Aksoy (Simon Fraser University)\n\nDespite significant advancements in network-based image harmonization techniques, there still exists a domain gap between training pairs and real-world com posites encountered during inference. Most existing methods are trained to reverse global edits made on segmented image regions, which fail to accur ately capture the lighting inconsistencies between the foreground and back ground commonly found in composited images. In this work, we introduce a s elf-supervised illumination harmonization approach formulated in the intri nsic image domain. First, we estimate a simple global lighting model from mid-level vision representations to generate a rough shading for the foreg round region. A network then refines this inferred shading to generate a h armonious re-shading that aligns with the background scene. In order to ma tch the color appearance of the foreground and background, we utilize idea s from prior harmonization approaches to perform global image edits in the albedo domain. To validate the effectiveness of our approach, we present results on challenging real-world composites and conduct a user study to o bjectively measure the enhanced realism achieved compared to state-of-the- art harmonization methods.\n\nRegistration Category: Full Access\n\nSessio n Chair: Sergi Pujades (National Institute for Research in Computer Scienc e and Automation (INRIA), Université Grenoble Alpes) URL:https://asia.siggraph.org/2023/full-program?id=papers_458&sess=sess156 END:VEVENT END:VCALENDAR
