ColorUNet: A convolutional classification approach to colorization

Abstract: This paper tackles the challenge of colorizing grayscale images. We take a deep convolutional neural network approach, and choose to take the angle of classification, working on a finite set of possible colors. Similarly to a recent paper, we implement a loss and a prediction function that favor realistic, colorful images rather than "true" ones.We show that a rather lightweight architecture inspired by the U-Net, and trained on a reasonable amount of pictures of landscapes, achieves satisfactory results on th… Show more

“…The proposed CNN architecture is an encoder-decoder architecture inspired by the architecture of UNet [29], which initially performed semantic segmentation and is common in colorization research, as mentioned in [30][31][32][33]. U-Net architecture is employed to perform the task of single-energy X-ray image colorization; however, the original study of UNet [29] has a different objective: image segmentation.…”
