Grayscale image colorization methods: Overview and evaluation

I Žeger, S Grgic, J Vuković, G Šišul - IEEE access, 2021 - ieeexplore.ieee.org
Colorization is a process of converting grayscale images into visually acceptable color
images. The main goal is to convince the viewer of the authenticity of the result. Grayscale …

Reference-based sketch image colorization using augmented-self reference and dense semantic correspondence

J Lee, E Kim, Y Lee, D Kim… - Proceedings of the …, 2020 - openaccess.thecvf.com
This paper tackles the automatic colorization task of a sketch image given an already-
colored reference image. Colorizing a sketch image is in high demand in comics, animation …

Tracking emerges by colorizing videos

C Vondrick, A Shrivastava, A Fathi… - Proceedings of the …, 2018 - openaccess.thecvf.com
We use large amounts of unlabeled video to learn models for visual tracking without manual
human supervision. We leverage the natural temporal coherency of color to create a model …

Colorful image colorization

R Zhang, P Isola, AA Efros - Computer Vision–ECCV 2016: 14th European …, 2016 - Springer
Given a grayscale photograph as input, this paper attacks the problem of hallucinating a
plausible color version of the photograph. This problem is clearly underconstrained, so …

Real-time user-guided image colorization with learned deep priors

R Zhang, JY Zhu, P Isola, X Geng, AS Lin, T Yu… - arxiv preprint arxiv …, 2017 - arxiv.org
We propose a deep learning approach for user-guided image colorization. The system
directly maps a grayscale image, along with sparse, local user" hints" to an output …

Let there be color! joint end-to-end learning of global and local image priors for automatic image colorization with simultaneous classification

S Iizuka, E Simo-Serra, H Ishikawa - ACM Transactions on Graphics …, 2016 - dl.acm.org
We present a novel technique to automatically colorize grayscale images that combines
both global priors and local image features. Based on Convolutional Neural Networks, our …

Deep exemplar-based colorization

M He, D Chen, J Liao, PV Sander, L Yuan - ACM Transactions on …, 2018 - dl.acm.org
We propose the first deep learning approach for exemplar-based local colorization. Given a
reference color image, our convolutional neural network directly maps a grayscale image to …

Towards vivid and diverse image colorization with generative color prior

Y Wu, X Wang, Y Li, H Zhang… - Proceedings of the …, 2021 - openaccess.thecvf.com
Colorization has attracted increasing interest in recent years. Classic reference-based
methods usually rely on external color images for plausible results. A large image database …

Deep colorization

Z Cheng, Q Yang, B Sheng - Proceedings of the IEEE …, 2015 - openaccess.thecvf.com
This paper investigates into the colorization problem which converts a grayscale image to a
colorful version. This is a very difficult problem and normally requires manual adjustment to …

Deep exemplar-based video colorization

B Zhang, M He, J Liao, PV Sander… - Proceedings of the …, 2019 - openaccess.thecvf.com
This paper presents the first end-to-end network for exemplar-based video colorization. The
main challenge is to achieve temporal consistency while remaining faithful to the reference …
