Black and white image colorization with OpenCV and Deep Learning - PyImageSearch

In this tutorial, you will learn how to colorize black and white images using OpenCV, Deep Learning, and Python. Image colorization is the process of taking an input grayscale (black and white) image and then producing an output colorized image that represents the semantic colors and tones of the input (for example, an ocean on a clear sunny day must be plausibly "blue" -- it can't be colored "hot pink" by the model). The novel approach we are going to use here today instead relies on deep learning. We will utilize a Convolutional Neural Network capable of colorizing black and white images with results that can even "fool" humans!
