• Title: Palette-based Color Transfer between Images
• Authors: Chenlei Lv, Dan Zhang,
• Abstract summary: We propose a new palette-based color transfer method that can automatically generate a new color scheme. With a redesigned palette-based clustering method, pixels can be classified into different segments according to color distribution. Our method exhibits significant advantages over peer methods in terms of natural realism, color consistency, generality, and robustness.

• Abstract: As an important subtopic of image enhancement, color transfer aims to enhance the color scheme of a source image according to a reference one while preserving the semantic context. To implement color transfer, the palette-based color mapping framework was proposed. \textcolor{black}{It is a classical solution that does not depend on complex semantic analysis to generate a new color scheme. However, the framework usually requires manual settings, blackucing its practicality.} The quality of traditional palette generation depends on the degree of color separation. In this paper, we propose a new palette-based color transfer method that can automatically generate a new color scheme. With a redesigned palette-based clustering method, pixels can be classified into different segments according to color distribution with better applicability. {By combining deep learning-based image segmentation and a new color mapping strategy, color transfer can be implemented on foreground and background parts independently while maintaining semantic consistency.} The experimental results indicate that our method exhibits significant advantages over peer methods in terms of natural realism, color consistency, generality, and robustness.

  We propose a framework for automatic colorization that allows for iterative editing and modifications. By understanding the content within a grayscale image, we utilize a pre-trained image generation model to generate multiple images that contain the same content. These images serve as references for coloring, mimicking the process of human experts.

  We present an effective BiSTNet to explore colors of reference exemplars and utilize them to help video colorization. We first establish the semantic correspondence between each frame and the reference exemplars in deep feature space to explore color information from reference exemplars. We develop a mixed expert block to extract semantic information for modeling the object boundaries of frames so that the semantic image prior can better guide the colorization process.
