The factorization allows a user to easily relight the scene, recover a portion of the scene geometry (normals), and to perform advanced image editing operations. Our method is easy to implement, robust, and provides a compact representation with good reconstruction characteristics. We show results using several publicly available time-lapse sequences.}, author = {K. Sunkavalli and Matusik, W. and H. Pfister and S. Rusinkiewicz} }
