Point-interactive Image Colorization
4 papers with code • 3 benchmarks • 3 datasets
Point-interactive colorization is a task of colorizing images given user-guided clicks containing colors (a.k.a color hints). Unlike unconditional image colorization, which is an underdetermined problem by nature, point-interactive colorization aims to generate images containing specific colors given by the user.
Point-interactive colorization is evaluated by providing simulated user hints from the groundtruth color image. Following the iColoriT protocol, user hints have a size of 2x2 pixels and color is given as the average color within the 2x2 pixels.

Real-Time User-Guided Image Colorization with Learned Deep Priors
The system directly maps a grayscale image, along with sparse, local user "hints" to an output colorization with a Convolutional Neural Network (CNN).
Instance-aware Image Colorization
Previous methods leverage the deep neural network to map input grayscale images to plausible color outputs directly.
Side Window Filtering
In addition to image filtering, we further show that the SWF principle can be extended to other applications involving the use of a local window.
iColoriT: Towards Propagating Local Hint to the Right Region in Interactive Colorization by Leveraging Vision Transformer
It is essential for point-interactive colorization methods to appropriately propagate user-provided colors (i. e., user hints) in the entire image to obtain a reasonably colorized image with minimal user effort.
