The Laval Indoor Spatially Varying HDR Dataset

Full-HDR high resolution indoor scenes with multiple HDR probes

This dataset contains 20 indoor scenes, captured using a Canon 5D Mark III and a 24–105 mm lens on a tripod. The scenes are first captured in high dynamic range by merging 7 bracketed exposures (from 1/8000s to 8s) with an f/11 aperture. For each scene, an average of 4 HDR light probes are subsequently captured by placing a 3-inch diameter chrome ball at different locations, and shooting the entire scene with the ball in HDR once more.

Important: the sphere has 74% reflectivity (equivalent to the HDR environment maps to being 74% of the actual light intensity). Please take this into account when rendering virtual objects.
