Colorizing infrared home videos

چکیده
A color video always conveys more vivid sentiments than a grayscale one. Obtaining a grayscale video from a color video is almost trivial but the converse is known to be hard. Nowadays, digital camcorders come equipped with an infrared device for night shot that enables one to shoot home videos in the dark. Unfortunately, the infrared lighting device used generates a “green-scale” video which is akin to a grayscale video albeit possessing all tints of green. In this paper, we present a novel technique for colorizing infrared home videos. We first convert the green scale video into grayscale, afterwards our technique involves generating key-frames for every shot and then building up a one to one correspondence map between the key frames and the designated color images. These pairs are used to generate the color palette table for the video segment, which is then utilized to colorize that segment of the home video. Our novel technique could also be applied for colorizing X-ray videos generated by diagnostic imaging devices as well as surveillance videos generated by baggage scanners at airports.

Automatic colorization of videos
Realistic colorization of videos has been of great interest to the artistic community, primarily for restoring historical color films and colorizing legacy videos. In this project, we experimented with several methods in order to automatically colorize videos on a frame-by-frame basis. We focused on rectifying two primary issues encountered with video colorizations : lack of color consistency b...
متن کاملA Study on the Application of Color Transfer Technique for Video Compression
In this paper, we explore the technique of colorization for video compression. The chrominance of the intermediate frames is discarded during encoding. At the time of decoding, chrominance values, which are dropped, are approximated from colorizing grayscale frames by transferring color from a source color frame to a targeted grayscale frame. So far human intervention is an integral part of col...

متن کاملProbabilistic Template Based Pedestrian Detection in Infrared Videos
In this paper we present a real time pedestrian detection system that works on low quality infrared videos. We introduce an efficient and effective idea of probabilistic templates to capture the variations in human shape specially for the case where the contrast is low and body parts are missing. The infrared videos provide the regions of interest, which considerably reduces the search space an...
متن کاملNew Principle Component Analysis Based Colorizing Method
Although many modern imaging systems are still producing grayscale images, colored-images are more preferred for the larger amount of information they are carrying. Computing the grayscale representation of a color image is a straightforward task, while the inverse problem has no objective solution. The search through out literature has not revealed much history of the past works. In this paper...
