Colorizing Images and Video by Scribbling

Posted by timothy on from the only-a-child-can-do-it dept.

Guspaz writes "Up until now, colorizing a video or image has been a painstaking and mostly manual task. However, researchers in Israel have come up with a new way of colorizing images just by making a few scribbles. The technique works on the premise that 'neighboring pixels in space-time that have similar intensities should have similar colors,' and also allows colorization of videos by 'marking' about one in ten frames."

    Video Compression !

    Only save the intensity channel and a few bits of markup and you compress the stream quite a bit.
