Replication Data for: "Novel View Synthesis and Inverse Rendering of Glossy Objects" PhD Thesis | Georgios Kouros

Complementary videos for PhD Thesis of Georgios Kouros titled: "Novel View Synthesis and Inverse Rendering of Glossy Objects: Efficient Representations, Ambiguity Mitigation, and Editable Assets" The dataset contains 5 videos that include comparisons of albedo estimates, surface normal estimates, novel view synthesis of synthetic scenes, novel view synthesis of real scenes and relighting of synthetic scenes, as well as a demonstration of scene editing capabilities of the latest method presented in the PhD thesis (SpecGloss-GS). The main purpose of the thesis is to develop methods for high-quality, efficient, and portable novel view synthesis and inverse rendering in the context of glossy objects. This entails the reconstruction of the geometry, material properties and scene illumination for complex glossy scenes.
