Abstract

Converting a grayscale image to a visually plausible and perceptually meaningful color image is an exciting research topic in computer vision and graphics. However, predicting the chrominance channels from a grayscale image is an ill-posed problem, especially when the objective is to produce the same color as in the ground truth image, like for the application of compression using colorization or video/image restoration. Compression using colorization efficiently reduces the storage space and transmission bandwidth by two-thirds and maintains the image’s visual quality. However, colorizing decompressed gray images exactly as ground truth with maximum accuracy is a challenging task. In this paper, learning-based CNN network ColCompNeT has been proposed in which concept of parallel training of colorization and compression network is utilized. With the proposed algorithm, a maximum bit saving of 36.45% is achieved with the improved objective and subjective performance when compared with the state-of-the-art methods.
