Researchers have developed a new method for capturing high-quality facial appearance from casual video inputs, moving beyond the need for expensive studio equipment. Their approach utilizes a "delighting network" as a prior to disentangle reflectance from complex illumination, outperforming existing models. This work also introduces the NeRSemble-Scan dataset, a large collection of relightable scans, and makes the model and dataset publicly available to advance research in digital human creation. AI
