Depth-aware relighting
Re-lighting a scene correctly by reasoning about its estimated geometry.

Light needs to know the shape
Relighting fails when it ignores geometry — shadows fall in impossible places and highlights ignore form. Depth-aware relighting estimates the scene's shape first.
With a depth map in hand, new light interacts with surfaces the way it should, so a studio shot can be moved to golden hour without looking pasted on.
