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."

    No, just the third. Video only has two dimensions.

    Color correcting, good.

    Colorization of old movies, bad.

    If you are so fucking ignorant that you don't know that composing and lighting for BW and color are utterly different, shame on you.

    Nothing is more infuriating than finding an old movie you want to watch on DVD and then discovering that it's been FUCKING COLORIZED.

    It's the equivalent of some dickwad like you 'improving' the Mona Lisa with a Crayola.

    I think I speak for all of us who care about how movies should look when I say FUCK YOU IN THE ASS WITH A CHILI PEPPER, RETARD.
