Reliable perception under diverse weather conditions remains a major challenge for autonomous driving systems. A common strategy to improve robustness is either to synthesize adverse weather conditions for training perception models or to apply weather-removal techniques to recover clean inputs.
PAM-ToD is a lightweight plug‑in that adapts a pre‑trained 3D Gaussian Splatting road scene to a new time of day by learning color corrections while keeping the original 3DGS parameters fixed. It scales each Gaussian’s existing color to model illumination changes and adds a brightness term for effects such as street lamps, learning these corrections from a few anchor images without separately estimating albedo and illumination. The method includes a spatial regularization to avoid abrupt changes and is evaluated on the CARLA-ToD benchmark, achieving higher PSNR and lower LPIPS than baselines in both static and dynamic settings.

JointLight introduces an asynchronous joint-modeling approach for human-centric video relighting, enabling fine-grained illumination control by jointly denoising RGB and irradiance frames during two-stage training. The method employs a domain matching strategy to bridge gaps between synthetic irradiance cues and real irradiance maps, and uses an asynchronous hijacked generation pipeline at inference. A newly created multi-illumination synthetic video dataset with paired irradiance maps supports training, and the model demonstrates strong generalization to real-world scenarios, outperforming prior methods in lighting fidelity and generative quality.

WildRelight is the first in-the-wild dataset designed to evaluate single-image relighting models, featuring high-resolution outdoor scenes captured under strictly aligned, temporally varying natural illuminations paired with high-dynamic-range environment maps. The benchmark demonstrates that state-of-the-art models trained on synthetic data suffer severe domain shifts when applied to real-world imagery. Leveraging the dataset’s temporal structure, the authors introduce a physics-guided inference framework combining Diffusion Posterior Sampling with Temporal Sampling-Aware Test-Time Adaptation, enabling synthetic models to self-supervise and align with real-world statistics on-the-fly.
GLOW is a Global Illumination‑aware inverse rendering framework for indoor scenes captured with dynamic co‑located light and camera setups. It combines a neural implicit surface representation with a neural radiance cache to jointly optimize geometry and reflectance, while introducing a dynamic radiance cache and a surface‑angle‑weighted radiometric loss to handle near‑field motion, strong inter‑reflections, and specular highlights. Experiments demonstrate that GLOW significantly outperforms prior methods in estimating material reflectance under both natural and co‑located illumination.
