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."

  1. Ruining Movies Now Easier Than Ever! by CheeseburgerBlue · · Score: 0, Redundant

    Thank goodness.


    I thought I was going to have to wait until they started dimensionifying old non-holographic movies until I once again heard the keen of good films having their asses wrung with sandpaper.

    Are there any non-evil applications or this artform?
