This means the artist needs to plan the color scheme and then spend time painstakingly filling in the colors manually. The current tool of choice is Photoshop or an equivalent. A single picture can take up to one month to colorize. In this chapter, we will implement a simple convolutional neural network (CNN) model to understand how image colorization works.
The CNN model is inspired by human vision. The human eye scans an object and the brain quickly picks up distinct ...
