| Summary: | The surfaces of real objects can visually appear to be glossy, matte, or anywhere in between, but essentially, they display varying degrees of diffuse and specular reflectance. Diffuse and specular reflectance provides different clues for light estimation. However, few methods simultaneously consider the contributions of diffuse and specular reflectance for light estimation. To this end, we propose ReDDLE-Net, which performs <b>Re</b>flectance <b>D</b>ecomposition for <b>D</b>irectional <b>L</b>ight <b>E</b>stimation. The primary idea is to take advantage of diffuse and specular clues and adaptively balance the contributions of estimated diffuse and specular components for light estimation. Our method achieves a superior performance advantage over state-of-the-art directional light estimation methods on the DiLiGenT benchmark. Meanwhile, the proposed ReDDLE-Net can be combined with existing calibrated photometric stereo methods to handle uncalibrated photometric stereo tasks and achieve state-of-the-art performance.
