• Abstract summary: This work focuses on optimizing a color grid based approach to fully-automated image color information retention. We want to minimize the amount of color information that is stored while still being able to faithfully re-color images. Our results yielded a promising image compression ratio, while still allowing for successful image recolorization reaching high CSIM values.

• Abstract: The search for image compression optimization techniques is a topic of constant interest both in and out of academic circles. One method that shows promise toward future improvements in this field is image colorization since image colorization algorithms can reduce the amount of color data that needs to be stored for an image. Our work focuses on optimizing a color grid based approach to fully-automated image color information retention with regard to convolutional colorization network architecture for the purposes of image compression. More generally, using a convolutional neural network for image re-colorization, we want to minimize the amount of color information that is stored while still being able to faithfully re-color images. Our results yielded a promising image compression ratio, while still allowing for successful image recolorization reaching high CSIM values.

  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.

  Raw images have distinct advantages over sRGB images, e.g., linearity and fine-grained quantization levels. They are not widely adopted by general users due to their substantial storage requirements. We propose a novel framework that learns a compact representation in the latent space, serving as metadata.

  We propose a deep network that takes two inputs (grayscale image and the respective encoded text description) and tries to predict the relevant color components. Also, we have predicted each object in the image and have colorized them with their individual description to incorporate their specific attributes in the colorization process. In terms of performance, the proposed method outperforms existing colorization techniques in terms of LPIPS, PSNR and SSIM metrics.

• Learning to Structure an Image with Few Colors [59.34619548026885]
  We propose a color quantization network, ColorCNN, which learns to structure the images from the classification loss in an end-to-end manner. With only a 1-bit color space (i.e., two colors), the proposed network achieves 82.1% top-1 accuracy on the CIFAR10 dataset. For applications, when encoded with PNG, the proposed color quantization shows superiority over other image compression methods in the extremely low bit-rate regime.
