Neural Multi-View Self-Calibrated Photometric Stereo without Photometric Stereo Cues

This dataset contains multi-view One-Light-at-a-Time (OLAT) images captured for multi-view 3D reconstruction and inverse rendering tasks.

It is first introduced and used for qualitative evaluation in our ICCV 2025 paper.

Dataset Structure

The dataset contains 6 scenes. Each scene directory is organized as follows:

{capture_date}_{material}_{name}/
├── ARW/
├── JPG/
├── mask/
├── CAM/
├── images_overview.jpeg
└── mesh_RC.obj

File and Folder Descriptions

🏞️ ARW/ and JPG/

Contain raw images in ARW format and corresponding JPEGs captured by a SONY A7R5 camera. No post-processing (e.g., tone mapping or white balance) has been applied. File names follow the format V{view_idx}L{light_idx}, where:
- view_idx: index of the camera view
- light_idx: index of the light direction
Images with the same light_idx are captured under the same light source fixed with respect to the camera.
◘ mask/
Contains per-view foreground masks, automatically segmented using SAM2.
📸 CAM/
Includes camera intrinsic and extrinsic parameters as 3×4 projection matrices $P=K[R \mid t]$ for each view. Calibrated using RealityCapture (Now renamed RealityScan).
📱images_overview.jpeg
Provides a visual overview of all images in a scene.
Each sub-image is cropped from the JPEG image and gamma-corrected for improved visibility.
🧱 mesh_RC.obj
A reference 3D mesh reconstructed from all JPEG images using RealityCapture.
⚠️ Note: This mesh is only intended for qualitative reference and should not be used for quantitative evaluation.
Because the photogrammetry process was applied to images captured under varying directional lighting, it violates the photo-consistency assumption and introduce reconstruction artifacts.

Scene Descriptions

20250205_ceramic_buddha

The first scene captured using the camera-light setup shown in the main paper's Fig. 10, and is used in the paper's teaser image. 143 out of 144 images were successfully calibrated using RealityCapture; thus, only 143 images were used in our method.
20250303 ~ 20250304

Captured right before the ICCV submission deadline for additional qualitative results. Each scene contains 144 successfully calibrated images.
20250515_ceramic_buddha

Captured during the rebuttal phase to demonstrate that a completely dark room is not strictly required for our method. All images were taken with a 1/200-second exposure under ambient lighting, in contrast to previous scenes captured at a 1/8-second exposure in darkness. Because the strobe flashlight emits a short burst of high-intensity light, reducing the exposure time from 1/8 sec to 1/200 sec does not affect the flashlight’s contribution to image appearance. However, it substantially attenuates the influence of ambient light, making it negligible.
