Joint inverse and forward rendering produces more coherent intrinsic scene maps

IntrinSync predicts five interdependent scene properties together, then uses reciprocal rendering to make them collectively explain the input image.

Gu and colleagues present a diffusion-based system that jointly separates a single RGB image into albedo, shading, surface normals, roughness and metallic maps, while also learning to render those maps back into an image.

IntrinSync represents an RGB image and its intrinsic maps as a shared sequence of tokens in a Multimodal Diffusion Transformer.

In one line

Jointly modeling intrinsic channels and closing the inverse-forward rendering loop with a dual cycle-consistent objective improves intrinsic decomposition and forward rendering coherence.
