PAM-ToD: Plug-and-Play Appearance Modeling for Cross-Time-of-Day 3D Gaussian Splatting

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: Human-Centric Video Relighting with Asynchronous RGB-Irradiance Joint Modeling

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.
