Albedo Estimation via Latent Bridge Matching
Recent advances in Intrinsic Image Decomposition (IID) have increasingly relied on generative models. However, progress remains limited by three key challenges: (a) insufficient physical consistency, (b) high computational cost at inference time, and (c) limited generalization capabilities. In this work, we show that latent bridge matching (LBM) effectively addresses these limitations for albedo estimation. We introduce a novel LBM-based architecture that enforces physical consistency through a pixel reconstruction loss, benefits from the inherent efficiency of LBM low-cost inference, and improves generalization across diverse datasets by incorporating a shading conditioning. In this extended version, we additionally show that conditioning the shading estimator itself on the predicted albedo further improves reconstruction fidelity, and we benchmark our best model against stateof-the-art IID methods across five real and synthetic datasets.
