• Abstract summary: We propose a unified model to perform language-based colorization with any-level descriptions. We leverage the pretrained cross-modality generative model for its robust language understanding and rich color priors. With the proposed novel sampling strategy, our model achieves instance-aware colorization in diverse and complex scenarios.

• Abstract: Language-based colorization produces plausible and visually pleasing colors under the guidance of user-friendly natural language descriptions. Previous methods implicitly assume that users provide comprehensive color descriptions for most of the objects in the image, which leads to suboptimal performance. In this paper, we propose a unified model to perform language-based colorization with any-level descriptions. We leverage the pretrained cross-modality generative model for its robust language understanding and rich color priors to handle the inherent ambiguity of any-level descriptions. We further design modules to align with input conditions to preserve local spatial structures and prevent the ghosting effect. With the proposed novel sampling strategy, our model achieves instance-aware colorization in diverse and complex scenarios. Extensive experimental results demonstrate our advantages of effectively handling any-level descriptions and outperforming both language-based and automatic colorization methods.

  We present Language-based video colorization for Creative and Consistent Colors (L-C4) Our model is built upon a pre-trained cross-modality generative model. We propose temporally deformable attention to prevent flickering or color shifts, and cross-clip fusion to maintain long-term color consistency.

We also introduce a novel module based on self-attention and a content-guided deformable autoencoder to address the long-standing issues of color overflow and inaccurate coloring.

• DiffColor: Toward High Fidelity Text-Guided Image Colorization with Diffusion Models [12.897939032560537]
  We propose a new method called DiffColor to recover vivid colors conditioned on a prompt text. We first fine-tune a pre-trained text-to-image model to generate colorized images using a CLIP-based contrastive loss. Then we try to obtain an optimized text embedding aligning the colorized image and the text prompt, and a fine-tuned diffusion model enabling high-quality image reconstruction. Our method can produce vivid and diverse colors with a few iterations, and keep the structure and background intact while having colors well-aligned with the target language guidance.

  We show that an alternative approach, in line with humans' understanding of multiple visual features per class, can provide compelling performance in the robust few-shot learning setting. In particular, we introduce a novel method, textit SLR-AVD (Sparse Logistic Regression using Augmented Visual Descriptors). This method first automatically generates multiple visual descriptions of each class via a large language model (LLM), then uses a VLM to translate these descriptions to a set of visual feature embeddings of each image, and finally uses sparse logistic regression to select a relevant subset of these features to classify

To incorporate style information, we propose a Reinforcement Learning strategy with CLIP-based language supervision.

To our knowledge, the result is the first word-level language model with a size that does not depend on the training vocabulary.
