Make sure you read the subreddit’s rules before you post an image request.
Give it a day or two, and someone or the other will have colorized your image for you. The way this subreddit works, is that you can make a free or a paid request to the community to colorize a Black and White photo. The site has subreddits for almost every topic you will ever need information about which naturally means, that there is a subreddit for photo colorization requests, as well, dubbed Colorization Requests. Reddit plays host to some of the most skilled and knowledgeable people on the internet (depending on where you look). “One small step for colorization, one giant leap for computer vision”. The grass also looks very well colored.Īll things said and done, while Colorize-it might not be the best way to colorize images with wildly abstract objects (such as the crashing waves of the sea), it works well on images with distinguishable objects that it can recognise, and it is really amazing to see computer vision taking such giant steps forward. The sky is too faded, but Colorize-it got the color of the cows perfectly. While the water at the bottom of the image has been colored pretty well, in my opinion, the waves are too brown and look like a sepia filter. I tried a couple of the pre-available thumbnails, and the results were good for one of them, and rather poor for the other. Then, click on “Colorize”, and wait while Colorize-it works its magic. Alternatively, you could use one of the thumbnails from their website for testing purposes. Yes, there are flaws in the system it almost always prefers to color grass green, and messes up the colors of waves in the sea (making them more brown, than blue), but it’s great to see how close an algorithm can get, even in such early stages of development.Īll you have to do is upload your Black and White photo to an image hosting service like Imgur or others and paste the URL of your image in Colorize-it. Currently, Colorize-it has been trained using around a million images, which results in okay-ish results a lot of the time. Obviously, since the service uses deep learning, it will get better over time, as the developers train it over more and more data sets. The results are not always satisfactory, due to it being an algorithm, but a lot of times, it gets the colors satisfactorily close enough to what one might expect. Colorize-it is a microservice hosted on Algorithmia, that takes the URL of a B&W photo and colorizes it.
