Natural Environments Dataset

We provide synthetic reflectance, direct shading (shading due to surface geometry and illumination conditions), ambient light and shadow cast ground-truth images. The dataset contains garden/park like natural (out-door) scenes including trees, plants, bushes, fences, etc. Furthermore, scenes are rendered with different types of terrains, landscapes, and lighting conditions. Addition-ally, real HDR sky images with a parallel light source are used to provide realistic ambient light. Moreover, light source properties are designed to model daytime lighting conditions to enrich the photometric effects.
