Coloring Old images
Taking an old B&W image and coloring it has become a thing in recent years. When done well it can add life to a image and bring new insights. However generally it takes a lot of work in photoshop and a trained technician. However even done well, it can have issues because often the colorer has to guess on the color of clothes etc I was interested to learn therefore of work based on machine learning to do the same thing. The idea is to train a algorithm based on a set of images and then use the result to color unrelated images. I was skeptical initially, but the results looked good so I thought I would have a closer look. I wanted to see if I could run the process myself. The code can be found here https://github.com/jantic/DeOldify and instructions are here https://github.com/jantic/DeOldify/blob/master/README.md However it looked like a lot of effort to set it up, but fortunately there was an easier way If you go to this link https://colab.research.g...
