Neural network based image coloring on image / video editing applications

Computing systems and methods for neural network-based image colorization are provided. A computing system obtains a reference color image by selective application of a color effect on a region of interest of an input image and controls a display device to display a first node graph on a graphical user interface of an image / video editing application. The first node graph includes a colorization node representing a first workflow for colorizing at least a first object in a grayscale image of a first image feed. The computing system selects the reference color image based on user input and executes the first workflow associated with the colorization node by feeding the reference color image and the first image feed as inputs to a neural network-based colorization model. The computing system receives a second image feed including a colorized image as an output of the neural network-based colorization model for the inputs.

A high-resolution gray-scale image layering coloring method based on zero-value domain decomposition

This invention discloses a high-resolution grayscale image layered colorization method based on zero-domain decomposition. This method employs a layered image processing strategy. First, the input high-resolution grayscale image is downsampled, and the downsampled result is colorized using a text image model to obtain a low-resolution color result. Then, detail information from the high-resolution grayscale image and color information from the low-resolution color result are extracted based on zero-domain decomposition. Finally, the extracted color information is corrected using prior knowledge from a diffusion model, while the extracted detail information is injected to obtain the high-resolution color result. This invention, based on zero-domain decomposition, proposes color image information decomposition and diffusion model-based color information correction in the grayscale image layered colorization process, which can be used to generate color results highly consistent with the detail information in the high-resolution grayscale image. The color image information decomposition proposed in this invention is easily integrated with existing layered grayscale image colorization methods.

Physical data dual-drive short-wave infrared image colorization band optimization method and device

This application relates to the field of shortwave infrared imaging technology, and provides a method and apparatus for optimizing color bands in shortwave infrared images driven by both physical data and technical data. Addressing the problem of exponentially increasing combinations of hyperspectral / multispectral bands, this method abandons the computationally expensive exhaustive training method and utilizes a hierarchical screening framework. First, a physical model is used to determine candidate bands. Then, improved statistical indices are used to quickly perform unsupervised dimensionality reduction to obtain a small number of high-potential combinations. Finally, generative validation of these high-potential combinations yields the optimal band combination. This strategy ensures the physical interpretability of band selection while significantly reducing the time cost and computational consumption in finding the optimal solution.

A DSM-constrained method for colorizing high-resolution, high-fidelity, high-resolution 7 panchromatic images

This invention relates to a high-resolution, high-fidelity panchromatic image colorization method based on DSM constraints from the Gaofen-7 satellite. It involves acquiring forward and backward panchromatic and backward multispectral images from the Gaofen-7 satellite, preprocessing them to obtain registered panchromatic, DSM, and true-color images, and constructing a DSM-constrained dual-decoder panchromatic image colorization network. Multi-scale features of the DSM and panchromatic images are extracted using a dual-branch ConvNeXt encoder. An adaptive feature selection fusion module fuses and upsamples the multi-scale features of the DSM and panchromatic images, inputting them into a symmetrical luminance decoder and color decoder to reconstruct the luminance and color channels in CIELAB space. The network's internal parameters are optimized by incorporating perceptual and color losses to alleviate problems of low color fidelity, low saturation, and color distortion, ultimately reconstructing a high-resolution, high-fidelity true-color image.
