Title
Automatic Image Colorization Using Adversarial Training.
Abstract
The paper presents a fully automatic end-to-end trainable system to colorize grayscale images. Colorization is a highly under-constrained problem. In order to produce realistic outputs, the proposed approach takes advantage of the recent advances in deep learning and generative networks. To achieve plausible colorization, the paper investigates conditional Wasserstein Generative Adversarial Networks (WGAN) [3] as a solution to this problem. Additionally, a loss function consisting of two classification loss components apart from the adversarial loss learned by the WGAN is proposed. The first classification loss provides a measure of how much the predicted colored images differ from ground truth. The second classification loss component makes use of ground truth semantic classification labels in order to learn meaningful intermediate features. Finally, WGAN training procedure pushes the predictions to the manifold of natural images. The system is validated using a user study and a semantic interpretability test and achieves results comparable to [1] on Imagenet dataset [10].
