Abmact-In this correspondence, we show that images that could not have arisen from shading on a smooth surface with uniform reflecting properties and lighting exist. Much work has been done on recovering surface shape from images, and there has been some attention paid to the question of uniqueness. It has been shown, for example, that singular points curtail ambiguity. However, little has been...

Lighting estimation from face images is an important task and has applications in many areas such as image editing, intrinsic image decomposition, and image forgery detection. We propose to train a deep Convolutional Neural Network (CNN) to regress lighting parameters from a single face image. Lacking massive ground truth lighting labels for face images in the wild, we use an existing method to...

This paper focuses on lighting dimensioning and lighting quality of traffic lighting. The work considers the factors that are important in creating optimal lighting conditions and luminous environment for night-time driving. The work is based on simulating, measuring and analyzing traffic lighting. The work introduces a new method for road luminance measurements and analysis. For simulation of ...

Light environment’s non-visual effects influence people’s health and work efficiency. However, considering requirements in addition to traditional visual may significantly increase lighting energy consumption. This study utilized simulation software explore saving potential of changing the direction luminaire. A model a single-person office with luminaire attached ceiling right above workstatio...

The goal of this study was to examine how different light combinations and timing of supplemental lighting affect the vegetative and reproductive responses of pansy (Viola × wittrockiana Rose). The present study was designed as a factorial experiment based on a completely randomized block design with three replications and two factors of timing of supplemental lighting (night-interrupt...
