End-to-End Conditional GAN-based Architectures for Image Colourisation
In this work recent advances in conditional adversarial networks are investigated to develop an end-to-end architecture based on Convolutional Neural Networks (CNNs) to directly map realistic colours to an input greyscale image. Observing that existing colourisation methods sometimes exhibit a lack of colourfulness, this paper proposes a method to improve colourisation results. In particular, the method uses Generative Adversarial Neural Networks (GANs) and focuses on improvement of training stability to enable better generalisation in large multi-class image datasets. Additionally, the integration of instance and batch normalisation layers in both generator and discriminator is introduced to the popular U-Net architecture, boosting the network capabilities to generalise the style changes of the content. The method has been tested using the ILSVRC 2012 dataset, achieving improved automatic colourisation results compared to other methods based on GANs.

Human vs Objective Evaluation of Colourisation Performance
Automatic colourisation of grey-scale images is the process of creating a full-colour image from the grey-scale prior. It is an ill-posed problem, as there are many plausible colourisations for a given grey-scale prior. …
Attention-based Stylisation for Exemplar Image Colourisation
Exemplar-based colourisation aims to add plausible colours to a grayscale image using the guidance of a colour reference image. Most of the existing methods tackle the task as a style transfer problem, using a convolutio…

Automatic image colourisation is the computer vision research path that studies how to colourise greyscale images (for restoration). Deep learning techniques improved image colourisation yielding astonishing results. The…
Collaboration among Image and Object Level Features for Image Colourisation
Image colourisation is an ill-posed problem, with multiple correct solutions which depend on the context and object instances present in the input datum. Previous approaches attacked the problem either by requiring inten…
