Abstract
Relighting has been used in many image productions. Relighting requires object shape information and reflectance, but we have to manually retouch or use special equipment in previous work. Therefore we present a novel system for relighting by Kinect which is a relatively low-priced depth camera. We capture target objects and calculate their shapes. Then we estimate reflectance from illumination that is calculated from an environment map taken at the same place. Finally we relight the object using new illumination. We can adjust direction and intensity of the light by user interaction. This system enables the user to relight objects without complex operation or high-priced equipment.
