Exemplar-based Video Colorization using Vision Transformer

Abstract

The domain of video colorization encompasses three principal methodologies: Interactive Colorization, Fully Automatic Colorization, and Exemplar-based Colorization. Interactive Colorization involves techniques that rely on user guidance and input for colorization. Fully Automatic Colorization strives to automate the colorization process without requiring any user-provided hints. Exemplar-based Colorization, on the other hand, employs reference images as a means to propagate colors onto the target video frames. Each approach exhibits distinct advantages, limitations, and contributions in the field of video colorization.
