bigcolor is a novel colorization model developed by Geonung Kim et al. that provides vivid colorization for diverse in-the-wild images with complex structures. Unlike previous generative priors that struggle to synthesize image structures and colors, bigcolor learns a generative color prior to focus on color synthesis given the spatial structure of an image. This allows it to expand its representation space and enable robust colorization for diverse inputs. bigcolor is inspired by the BigGAN architecture, using a spatial feature map instead of a spatially-flattened latent code to further enlarge the representation space. The model supports arbitrary input resolutions and provides multi-modal colorization results, outperforming existing methods especially on complex real-world images. Model inputs and outputs bigcolor takes a grayscale input image and produces a colorized output image. The model can operate in different modes, including "Real Gray Colorization" for real-world grayscale photos, and "Multi-modal" colorization using either a class vector or random vector to produce diverse colorization results. Inputs image**: The input grayscale image to be colorized. mode**: The colorization mode, either "Real Gray Colorization" or "Multi-modal" using a class vector or random vector. classes** (optional): A space-separated list of class IDs for multi-modal colorization using a class vector.

ChromaGAN is an AI model developed by pvitoria that uses an adversarial approach for picture colorization. It aims to generate realistic color images from grayscale inputs. ChromaGAN is similar to other AI colorization models like ddcolor and retro-coloring-book, which also focus on restoring color to images. However, ChromaGAN takes a unique adversarial approach that incorporates semantic class distributions to guide the colorization process. Model inputs and outputs The ChromaGAN model takes a grayscale image as input and outputs a colorized version of that image. The model was trained on the ImageNet dataset, so it can handle a wide variety of image types. Inputs Image**: A grayscale input image Outputs Colorized image**: The input grayscale image, colorized using the ChromaGAN model Capabilities The ChromaGAN model is able to add realistic color to grayscale images, preserving the semantic content and structure of the original image. The examples in the readme show the model handling a diverse set of scenes, from landscapes to objects to people, and generating plausible color palettes. The adversarial approach helps the model capture the underlying color distributions associated with different semantic classes. What can I use it for? You can use ChromaGAN to colorize any grayscale images, such as old photos, black-and-white illustrations, or even AI-generated images from models like stable-diffusion. This can be useful for breathing new life into vintage images, enhancing illustrations, or generating more visually compelling AI-generated content. The colorization capabilities could also be incorporated into larger image processing pipelines or creative applications. Things to try Try experimenting with ChromaGAN on a variety of grayscale images, including both natural scenes and more abstract or illustrative content. Observe how the model handles different types of subject matter and lighting conditions.

The deoldify_image model from maintainer arielreplicate is a deep learning-based AI model that can add color to old black-and-white images. It builds upon techniques like Self-Attention Generative Adversarial Network and Two Time-Scale Update Rule, and introduces a novel "NoGAN" training approach to achieve high-quality, stable colorization results. The model is part of the DeOldify project, which aims to colorize and restore old images and film footage. It offers three variants - "Artistic", "Stable", and "Video" - each optimized for different use cases. The Artistic model produces the most vibrant colors but may leave important parts of the image gray, while the Stable model is better suited for natural scenes and less prone to leaving gray human parts. The Video model is optimized for smooth, consistent and flicker-free video colorization. Model inputs and outputs Inputs model_name**: Specifies which model to use - "Artistic", "Stable", or "Video" input_image**: The path to the black-and-white image to be colorized render_factor**: Determines the resolution at which the color portion of the image is rendered. Lower values render faster but may result in less vibrant colors, while higher values can produce more detailed results but may wash out the colors. Outputs The colorized version of the input image, returned as a URI. Capabilities The deoldify_image model can produce high-quality, realistic colorization of old black-and-white images, with impressive results on a wide range of subjects like historical photos, portraits, landscapes, and even old film footage.
