Re-illuminate people in video to match target lighting from a 360 HDRI environment map.
The NVIDIA AI for Media Relighting model re-illuminates a person in a video to match the target lighting provided by a 360 High Dynamic Range Image (HDRI).
Relighting is a developer-ready AI feature for enhancing video communication and content creation workflows. Its state-of-the-art models create high-quality visual AI effects using standard cameras without additional special equipment.
Relighting is exclusively part of NVIDIA AI Enterprise for production workflows — an extensive library of full-stack software, including AI solution workflows, frameworks, pre-trained models, and infrastructure optimization.
This model is ready for commercial/non-commercial use.
