Automatic Texture Guided Color Transfer and Colorization

چکیده
This paper targets two related color manipulation problems: Color transfer for modifying an image’s colors and colorization for adding colors to a grayscale image. Automatic methods for these two applications propose to modify the input image using a reference that contains the desired colors. Previous approaches usually do not target both applications and suffer from two main limitations: possible misleading associations between input and reference regions and poor spatial coherence around image structures. In this paper, we propose a unified framework that uses the textural content of the images to guide the color transfer and colorization. Our method introduces an edge-aware texture descriptor based on region covariance, allowing for local color transformations. We show that our approach is able to produce results comparable or better than state-of-the-art methods in both applications.

Examplar-Based Face Colorization Using Image Morphing
Colorization of gray-scale images relies on prior color information. Examplar-based methods use a color image as source of such information. Then the colors of the source image are transferred to the grayscale image. In the literature, this transfer is mainly guided by texture descriptors. Face images usually contain few texture so that the common approaches frequently fail. In this paper we pr...

متن کاملAutomatic Colorization of Grayscale Images Using Generative Adversarial Networks
Automatic colorization of gray scale images poses a unique challenge in Information Retrieval. The goal of this field is to colorize images which have lost some color channels (such as the RGB channels or the AB channels in the LAB color space) while only having the brightness channel available, which is usually the case in a vast array of old photos and portraits. Having the ability to coloriz...
متن کاملAutomatic black and white film colorization using texture features and artificial neural networks
This study represents an innovative automatic method for black and white films colorization using texture features and a multilayer perceptron artificial neural network. In the proposed method, efforts are made to remove human interference in the process of colorization and replace it with an artificial neural network (ANN) which is trained using the features of the reference frame. Later, this...
متن کاملTexture Feature Extraction to Colorize Gray Images
This work presents a simple process for gray image colorization, using a colored image which is similar to this gray scale image but not the colorized version of the gray image. This colored image is retrieved from the data base of colored images that has been created for this purpose. Here, the texture properties of the colored images are extracted and stored. For the purpose of colorization t...
