Efficient Lighting Estimation

Lighting information is useful for rendering realistic looking virtual object and therefore an important task for augmented reality. In this project, we investigate ways to improve the accuracy of lighting estimation in the context of mobile AR and approaches to reduce its impact on mobile device resource.
