  2. Outdoor time-lapse

  3. = £ Intrinsic Images [ Weiss 2001, Matsushita et al. 2003,… ] Time-lapse sequence Time-varying Shading Texture Editing [ Sunkavalli et al. 2007 ] Geo-location [ Jacobs et al. 2007 ] Time-lapse in Computer Vision

  4. Coherence in time-lapse • Most previous work makes use of only the temporal structure in time-lapse. • Outdoor time-lapse also has a colorimetric structure. overcast sky clear sky sunset

  5. Outline • A physics-based model. • A method to fit the model to data. • Applications of the model.

  10. A model for outdoor time-lapse • Assumption 4 : 2-d subspace for daylight spectra [ Judd et al. 1964, Sastri and Das 1968, …, Hernández-Andrés et al. 2000 ]

  11. A model for outdoor time-lapse • Assumption 4 : 2-d subspace for daylight spectra

  12. A model for outdoor time-lapse illumination coefficients

  13. A model for outdoor time-lapse scene color under canonical lighting (normalized)

  14. A model for outdoor time-lapse

  15. A model for outdoor time-lapse shadows shadows

  16. A model for outdoor time-lapse shading

  17. A model for outdoor time-lapse 1-d projection of normals onto solar plane

  24. Application I : Color Constancy [ D’Zmura and Lennie 1986, Forsyth 1990, Funt et al. 1991, Finlayson and Funt 1994, Brainard and Freeman 1997, Barnard et al. 1997, Finlayson et al. 2001, Ebner 2004,… ]

  25. Application I : Color Constancy original color corrected

  26. Application II : Scene Reconstruction

  27. Application II : Scene Reconstruction

  28. Application II : Scene Reconstruction

  29. Application III : Geo-location

  30. Application III : Geo-location

  31. Summary • Outdoor time-lapse sequences are ubiquitous. • They are a rich source of scene information. • By using both temporal and colorimetric coherence we can access that scene information.

  32. Future Work • Robust Fitting (mutual illumination, non-lambertian surfaces, foreground clutter). • Multiple viewpoints. • Estimating weather and atmospheric conditions.
