IntrinSync: Joint Intrinsic Decomposition and Reciprocal Rendering

In this paper, we introduce IntrinSync, a unified framework that captures this interdependence through joint-channel modeling and reciprocal inverse-forward rendering.

Key points

  • Inverse rendering decomposes an image into intrinsic properties such as appearance, illumination, geometry, and material, yet these properties are inherently interdependent.
  • At the channel level, we jointly decompose an input RGB into albedo, shading, surface normal, roughness, and metallic maps through a 1-to-N mapping, enabling information exchange across channels throughout generation.
  • Experiments on three datasets demonstrate that our method achieves competitive intrinsic estimation and forward rendering performance, improving coherence and physical consistency.
  • Beyond decomposition, IntrinSync provides a physically grounded interface for image editing, allowing intrinsic properties to be explicitly manipulated and rendered back into RGB images.
