colorizer

Python app that uses deep learning to automatically colorize black and white images.

Based on the Colorful Image Colorization Algorithm by Richard Zhang (http://richzhang.github.io/colorization/)

Example

Run

Download models

sh get_models.sh

Run app

python3 app.py

Unsolved mysteries

For some yet unexplained reason the app will display more blue-toned version of the images compared to the colorizer-function itself. That's confusing considering the app uses that very same colorizer function and does not manipulate the image further.

app.py	colorizer.py

Attempted solutions

• Skip image resizing before colorization
  • The only additional image manipulation the app does is to resize the images to fit the input and output windows. However we can conclude that this is not the culprit after attempting to run the app without resizing the image
• coming soon
