Image Colorization using Residual Networks
نویسندگان
چکیده
Given a grayscale image of a natural scene, this paper presents an approach to the estimation of a recolorization of that image. While the approach presented here is fully automatic, it has an easy insertion point for human interaction to finetune results and train improved colorizers. The system as presented is a feed-forward operation in a CNN augmented with residual connections, explicitly estimating a downsampled color histogram or color palette then using this color palette to estimate a plausible coloring of an image.

Automatic 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 کاملImage Colorization using Convolutional Neural Networks
For the culmination of the course CMPS 242, Machine Learning, the authors 1 present a method for image colorization using convolutional neural networks. 2 Colorization, taking a black and white image and turning into a color (RGB) image, 3 is inherently an underdetermined problem. Because of this we aim to generate 4 plausible colorizations using the technology of convolutional neural networks. 5
متن کاملAutomatic Colorization with Deep Convolutional Generative Adversarial Networks
We attempt to use DCGANs (deep convolutional generative adversarial nets) to tackle the automatic colorization of black and white photos to combat the tendency for vanilla neural nets to ”average out” the results. We construct a small feed-forward convolutional neural network as a baseline colorization system. We train the baseline model on the CIFAR-10 dataset with a per-pixel Euclidean loss f...
متن کاملLearning Representations for Automatic Colorization
We develop a fully automatic image colorization system. Our approach leverages recent advances in deep networks, exploiting both low-level and semantic representations. As many scene elements naturally appear according to multimodal color distributions, we train our model to predict per-pixel color histograms. This intermediate output can be used to automatically generate a color image, or furt...
متن کاملUniversity of Groningen Deep Colorization for Facial Gender Recognition
Recent research suggests that colorization models have the capability of generating plausible color versions from grayscale images. In this paper, we investigate whether colorization prior to gender classification improves classification performance on the FERET grayscale face dataset. For this, we colorize the images using an existing Lab colorization model, both with and without class rebalan...
