Digital Kitchen Remodeling: Editing and Relighting Intricate Indoor Scenes from a Single Panorama

Graphics 2025-04-24 v1 Human-Computer Interaction

Abstract

We present a novel virtual staging application for kitchen remodeling from a single panorama. To ensure the realism of the virtual rendered scene, we capture real-world High Dynamic Range (HDR) panoramas and recover the absolute scene radiance for high-quality scene relighting. Our application pipeline consists of three key components: (1) HDR photography for capturing paired indoor and outdoor panoramas, (2) automatic kitchen layout generation with new kitchen components, and (3) an editable rendering pipeline that flexibly edits scene materials and relights the new virtual scene with global illumination. Additionally, we contribute a novel Pano-Pano HDR dataset with 141 paired indoor and outdoor panoramas and present a low-cost photometric calibration method for panoramic HDR photography.
