Abstract: We present a practical approach for realistic rerendering of landscape photographs. We extract a view dependent depth map from single input landscape images by examining global and local pixel color distributions and demonstrate applications of depth dependent rendering such as novel viewpoints, digital refocusing and dehazing. We also present a simple approach to relight the input landscape photograph under novel sky illumination. Here, we assume diffuse reflectance and relight landscapes by estimating the irradiance due the sky in the input photograph. Finally, we also take into account specular reflections on water surfaces which are common in landscape photography and demonstrate a semiautomatic process for relighting scenes with still water.
