WildRelight Dataset

A real-world relighting dataset of 30 outdoor/semi-indoor scenes captured across multiple time steps throughout the day. Each scene provides paired HDR photographs and HDR environment maps, enabling evaluation of outdoor relighting tasks.

Download Command

Download small resolution for quick verification.

hf download lez/wildrelight --repo-type dataset --include "small-aligned/**" --local-dir ./wildrelight/small-aligned

Key Statistics

Property	Value
Scenes	30
Time steps per scene	6–8 (spaced ~1 hour apart)
Total HDR photo/envmap pairs	196
Photo resolution (full)	6048 × 4024 px
Envmap resolution (full)	7680 × 3840 px (equirectangular)
Photo resolution (small)	1200 × ~798 px
Envmap resolution (small)	1200 × 600 px
File format	OpenEXR
HDR normalization	Radiance at reference shutter speed (1/500 – 1/10 s, per scene)

Equipment

Main camera: Sony α7 series — RAW
360° camera: Insta360 Pro2 — 6-lens equidistant fisheye, stitched to equirectangular

Dataset Variants

Two resolution variants are provided under ori/ and small/. Within each variant, every scene contains four folders:

{variant}/{scene}/
├── photo/              # HDR photograph (unaligned)
├── photo_aligned/      # HDR photograph (temporally aligned, recommended)
├── envmap/             # HDR environment map (unaligned)
└── envmap_aligned/     # HDR environment map (temporally aligned, recommended)

Both photo_aligned/ and envmap_aligned/ are temporally aligned to the first time step — each image is warped so that the static background is registered across time. Use these for relighting experiments.

File Naming

photo/          time{N}_hdr.exr          (N = 0, 1, 2, …)
envmap/         time{N}_envmap.exr

Metadata

Each scene contains a meta.json with:

Field	Description
`scene`	Scene name
`ref_shutter`	Reference shutter speed (seconds) used for HDR normalization
`ref_shutter_fraction`	Human-readable, e.g. `"1/500"`
`hdr_method`	HDR merge algorithm (`triangular_weight_debevec1997`)
`alignment_method`	`life_optical_flow` or `cv2_sift_homography`
`gps`	`{latitude, longitude, altitude_m}` — available for 10 scenes
`photos[].shooting_time`	Capture timestamp from EXIF
`photos[].iso`	ISO speed
`photos[].shutter_speed`	Representative shutter speed (human-readable)
`envmaps[].shooting_time`	Capture timestamp
`envmaps[].shutter_speed`	Envmap shutter speed

Scene List

GPS coordinates are provided as additional information. Since collecting GPS coordinates was not part of the original plan, only 10 scenes contain GPS coordinates.

Temporal Alignment

Photos are aligned to time0 of each scene. Two methods are used depending on scene content:

LIFE optical flow (26 scenes): dense flow-based warping, handles gradual lighting changes and small camera motion
CV2/SIFT homography (4 scenes: cabin, indoor, sand, seaside): feature-based homography, used when flow alignment fails due to detailed textures.

Alignment is computed independently for ori and small resolutions. Environment maps are aligned using phase-correlation-based rotation estimation.
