Hi Chris,

this is the paper I will present at the reading group: Rendering Synthetic
Objects into Legacy Photographs, Kevin Karsch et al.
http://www.kevinkarsch.com/publications/sa11-lowres.pdf

Abstract
We propose a method to realistically insert synthetic objects into
existing photographs without requiring access to the scene or any
additional scene measurements. With a single image and a small
amount of annotation, our method creates a physical model of the
scene that is suitable for realistically rendering synthetic objects
with diffuse, specular, and even glowing materials while account-
ing for lighting interactions between the objects and the scene. We
demonstrate in a user study that synthetic images produced by our
method are confusable with real scenes, even for people who be-
lieve they are good at telling the difference. Further, our study
shows that our method is competitive with other insertion meth-
ods while requiring less scene information. We also collected new
illumination and reflectance datasets; renderings produced by our
system compare well to ground truth. Our system has applications
in the movie and gaming industry, as well as home decorating and
user content creation, among others.


thanks
    Lukas
