We propose a method for estimating high-definition spatially-varying lighting, reflectance, and geometry of a scene from 360 • stereo images. Our model takes advantage of the 360 • input to observe the entire scene with geometric detail, then jointly estimates the scene's properties with physical constraints. We first reconstruct a near-field environment light for predicting the lighting at any 3D location within the scene. Then we present a deep learning model that leverages the stereo

Both quantitative and qualitative experiments show that our method, benefiting from the 360 • observation of the scene, outperforms prior state-of-the-art methods and enables more augmented reality applications such as mirror-objects insertion.
