High dynamic range illumination estimation

A method for compositing content with an image, the method comprising:

• receiving, via a user interface, an image and an input to identify content to insert into the image;
• generating, using a neural network, illumination data that includes a light intensity map and an environment map for the image, the environment map corresponding to ambient color for an environment around a scene captured in the image;
• rendering, using a rendering engine, the identified content over the input image using the illumination data to generate a composite image, wherein the illumination data is used to adjust the illumination of the inserted content within the composite image;
• and
• outputting the composite image for display on the user interface.

A non-transitory computer-readable storage medium comprising instructions stored thereon that, when executed by at least one processor, are configured to cause a computing system to at least:

• receive, via a user interface, an image and an input to identify content to insert into the image;
• generate, using a neural network, illumination data that includes a light intensity map and an environment map for the image, the environment map corresponding to ambient color for an environment around a scene captured in the image;
• render, using a rendering engine, the identified content over the input image using the illumination data to generate a composite image, wherein the illumination data is used to adjust the illumination of the inserted content within the composite image;
• and
• output the composite image for display on the user interface.
