Best Image Colorization AI 2020

- Image colorization AI in the form of web service, papers and video editing filters are being explored in this video. Through benchmarking and comparing test results, I've concluded a top 10 colorization AI in this video. This video excludes machine learning theory, as some AIs are not published and cannot be compared easily, and as people usually just look for the results, I think this way of ranking the AIs is fairly reasonable.

Apparently my dumb ass forgot to add the photo at 3:12
so if you are wondering how it looks like: imgur.com/a/HyJD10k
thanks to MASTER0o for pointing it out lol
Is there an Ai/deep learning color grading tool yet? Could you make a video on one if there is? Thanks.
lmao
@Jeffrey Maurice ^ this is a scam btw
That's A Big Bruh Moment.

7:00 The original market picture is heavily saturated. The colorized version is more life-like.
I agree. The original photograph was terrible.
Could just be they had yellow lighting or smth
@@barackyobama6139 that's why you adjust for yellow or blue light conditions
The colorized one looks like it been taken after a nuclear holocaust tho.
I prefer the recolorized version. I don't care that it's not accurate - it looks great ;D. It's like a picture prettifier for auto-adjustment of color balances and whatnot.
When ever i think about how people live on the past, I always imagine them seeing the world as black n white
My sister has some grandchildren who are convinced that everyone and everything was black and white till they discovered colour

*Deep content!
HIGHLY suggest you colorize a picture of a loved one and get it printed (cheap is fine) and put it in a frame. Doesn't have to be huge. Just a good photograph. That makes an amazing present (also it's pretty cheap) - remember to do research on colors of importance such as Military uniforms, a dress a person wore (if you are able to speak to anybody that was there) - and just do it. People are always blown away.

I used MyHeritage’s colorization tool for my ancestors
Definitely worth it
Agree that My Haritage is the best but only 10 photos for free.
Man what a gem of a channel!! Keep it up guy
I like this kind of comparison content.
So incredible how rapidly this technology is improving.
A year or so ago I was trying to do this to some black and white photographs and the results were ok but not that impressive.
Tried again just now on MyHeritage and it blew me away. Amazing to think that in another year it will be even better. I love AI
we`ll see how we like it when it conquers humanity
I learned how to edit a black and white photo and make it colorful in photoshop in 2010! Never thought it would be so easy one day
7:00 The original market picture doesn´t appear 100% lifelike either. The skin tone seems better in MyHeritage.
And I´m sure every photoshop app has a slider to adjust saturation or temperature, if needed.
Good is good enough, meaning that other things like the horizontal lines on the bottom (and focus with Monroe) start to demand our attention when colorization is this good.
Regarding the original market, it appears there´s daylight on the left, and incandescent bulbs on the right. But when colorized, every light source seems to be LED. I wonder if the temperature of the light can be detected when scanning an actual negative, instead of a print.
It´s amazing nontheless, how far we have come.
This is awesome! Thanks for sharing man. Came here from Reddit just to appreciate LOL.
i love colorization ai, even though its not 100% accurate it still gives you a rough idea about what it would look like with color and it feels so satisfying and more like its in our reality, crazy how something so simple as not having color can make video feel like its not home
nice vid, i got somewhat drifted aways, listening to your speaking and the music, just enjoyable
that's very informative，thank you！
Awesome content Dude, Keep it up.!
Thank you so much. This could be informative for people who want to color old ancestral photos. Subbed.
Killer thumbnail my dude.
ngl i read the thumbnail as Colonization lmao (this is still impressive though)
I like the video but I think the ranking could have issues as if the images used in testing were in the original data set by chance, there will be unfairly good results when comparing between ai’s: and because two of the images (mr king and monroe) are so common, there is a fair chance that the images are in some of their datasets. I think it would be a better comparison if you took your own photos because then you would know for sure how well each of these programs can extrapolate on images they haven’t seen. It would not be impressive after all, for a program to colorise images it has already seen.
It hasn’t seen a colourised version of Monroe or MLK though? They were originally black and white? Even if it has MLKs photo stored, it’s still only a b/w photo. The ai isn’t looking at a cheat sheet behind the scenes.
@@handled4787 "
Imma pretend I understand
@@handled4787 but it is also possible that they added some manually colored black and white pictures into the training. And the way most AI train is actually with a cheat sheet, they try to guess the answer first, and then look at the real answer. Then they compare and learn what they did right and what they did wrong.(in a nutshell)
@@brennandiokhengadi4674 Could totally be true. I really don’t know anything about how it all works.
I recently had an idea, and I'm too lazy to do it but if someone wants to do it they can. But all they need to do is see if they can colorize the Wandavision Trailer
Omg yes
It will be very hard to do so since they have to colorize it frame by frame. Still want to see it colorized!!
@@jairuz3876 I mean there is also algorithms for video as well
YES
@@jairuz3876 not hard, just will take longer since the process is the same, but for way more images
Grandfather was a great man, got pictures of em, but never saw him in person. Going to use these A.I to color in the b-17 and his picture with the crew. My dads gonna be stunned, thank you!!!
That's Top quality content in CZcams
Excellent work❤️
I did a similar (but much less thorough) test of around six on-line tools and came to the same conclusion. MyHeritage was by far the best - I subscribed for a year to colour my old family photos. It also includes sharpening and colour enhancement.
Cool vid I enjoyed
I think if I had to colorize a large amount of photos, I'd separate any people/important objects from backgrounds and run each layer through different AIs-- some of them handled faces a lot better than backgrounds and vice versa, then composite them back together. I'm honestly a bit surprised there aren't some even better preforming options out there right now!
well damn, thx for showing this, very useful
awesome video!
Good recomendation CZcams 🤩
Test results start @ 2:38. Great video! AI for video and photos is SOOO cool.
Great Video
thanks for not clickbaiting us with that thumbnail
This vid might need a update vid soon haha, the lastest photoshop update has coloring tool too. Btw love all your vids. Bought some B&W film to play with cause of you !
it's pretty crappy in it's beta mode at present though
Those 1890s and early 1900s clips look like they were filmed in the 1960s/70s. Amazing!
Perfect Video, Perfect Song
Thanks for the video. I always want to go back to the past. I wanna feel slow and peaceful life. That colorization technology is amazing. I wanna learn it too🙏🙏
i really like the look of chromaGAN, i know that isn't what it's supposed to look like but i find it really cool
FUcking SUBBBBED Great vid bro
Finally, we can see the past as they saw it.
Subscribed immediately. Sad to see MyHeritage being first since it's the one I chose for my project and I was hoping there would be even better options. Do you know which ones in top 5 produce output of the same resolution as the input and don't downscale?
Looking forward to video comparison in the future. By the way, make sure to include what would be a blue sky in your video since many colorizers are really struggling with it.
Try Pixbim
I feel like I've been there before and now I traveled back in the present. Super nostalgically wierd man!
As a history buff, I love this!
The my heritage result on the market is absolutely incredible, I dont think its fair to fault it for the missing orange hues and I think if you just boosted saturation/red values in photoshop on it itd be a near perfect match
The music is so chilling. Found myself dreamin meanwhile, haha.
Imagine this plus 4k upscaling. Just wow
This was incredibly helpful! Thanks! Where did you get all the video footage from?
I mistakenly read it as “the best coloNization software” and I was like...uh...why would we...?

This video will get on everyone's recommendation within 5 years.
Interesting video. I personally preferred the My Heritage recoloured version of the marketplace to the very saturated original. If I treid to edit the photo myself I would certinly adjust some of the fruits to be more accurate but overall I liked the more muted colours better.
I can see why you chose to compare the results with those that ranked closely with them but the marketplace seemed more relevant to the original most of the time. You could maybe use a subtle transistion matched with your audio or effect to more easily identify which images you are comparing. As a viewer I found that I had to keep checking the words at the top too much to keep track of which versions you were comparing. It's probably hard to see it as a viewer because when you are editing you have looked at it so many times that it all seems so obvious even without the titles at the top.
thats awesome ngl
Damn, your content is really well made, i think you definitely deserve more likes, subs, and exposure. Thanks mate!
The guy knows little about image processing. Just look at the image he used as a control at 7:04s. No AI is going to recreate an oversaturated shit image and call it “real”.
@@gold333 I agree, but Given that , his comparison is then from someone that literally does not understand photo restoration and is looking for something that will exactly replicate what he uploads. At the end of the day, the one he chose was indeed the best one anyway.
Thanks for this. Great test/comparison. Do you know if they make an Ai software to remove dust from scanned slides?
great channel
3:04 hey, that's me at the top left!
"Neural Network-based Automatic Image Colorization
" hosted on Tsukuba University works great on some historical images. It colourizes the RAF roundels and even Nazi swastikas. I use it to colourize airship pictures like the Hindenburg. Also note that you must use panchromatic images (where red is grey and blue is black) or else it will make British roundels look like French ones and vice versa. The downside is that it outputs at a low resolution, so you must use Photoshop to extract the colour layer and scale it over the source image as a luminance greyscale layer.
Y'know, I've been working on-and-off on a little colorization project, using nothing but Vegas Pro 14. On one hand, I feel like it might be redundant to compare something that was manually colorized, with an AI's vision of the original monochrome scene… But on the other, my colorization is of a 2D animation, so… that could be interesting.
I feel like people in the past think that people in the future will be able to colorize b/w pictures
MyHeritage applied white balance to your market photo. Your shot had the white balance set to too high a temperature (daylight in a tungsten setting?) and so everything had a vintage yellow tone. I would be interested to see how MyHeritage performed on a white balanced version of the market photo.
nice video
"The pleasantness just hits different when there colored" Exact Quote 0:13
You have missed popular colorizing software's like pixbim.com and colourise.sg. Even a simple google search gives the ones I have mentioned at the top of the search.
Must be really fun watching this as a colorblind person.
the Myheritage version of the fruit/market photo honestly looks even better than the original... i cant believe how good the ai is
Nicely made informative video. Have you seen ColorSurprise from AI Pixbim? I am looking into buying that and would value your opinion how it compares with the others you have already reviewed. I did try the My Heritage one but actually was not that impressed.
I have used it. In my opinion, it is no better than deoldify.
@@GBREAL01 thanks for your feedback. I have actually bought ColourSurprise now and am very happy with it. For me, it is the best utility at the moment.
Yes, Pixbim does a better job. I use it often to colorize old photos and I like it.
Stuff like this, especially the MLK one is really cool to see. Every time I think of how someone in the 1800s would see the world it’s hard not to think in black and white, and bad resolution when they actually saw in full color and 8k ultra hd
The MyHeritage market photo looks better than the original- less orange wash!
i use Pixbim ColorSurprise AI this is also good
Hey, I've got a question. Does this AI approach to colorization work with half-toned images? I am interested in adding color to some photos I have found in vintage newspapers, and of course these are halftone illustrations. I know you can use "gaussian blur" to eliminate the halftoning effect, but this also reduces sharpness. Can these AI colorization programs work directly with halftone illustrations? PS -- I am blown away by the My Heritage results. The resulting photo actually appears more balanced and "real" in its color than the original photo.
Poggers this video was made on my birthday
Whether ai colorizer program you use, they are both awesome, now just imagine you have accidentally recorded somebody’s marryday in B&W mode or in nightvision mode, no problem anymore becausr now you can recover most colors based on object recognition and shades of gray, sure nightvision will require some contrast & brightness adjustments ,but then those ai colorizers can do their work,
Now just imagine if future cameras & smartphone cameras will be B&W only ,but will contain the best ai colorizer to make up for it, then cameras can be made cheaper😁
In what part of the Anglophone world is a wedding called a marryday?
@@CadetGriffin probably Aussies, they call mcdonalds Maccas so..
Nightvision doesn't pick up color, even in the traditional sense of black and white. I don't think it would work well without another dataset.
im so suprised that i wasnt subscribed wow
Can you try colorization plus frame interpolation?
i’m currently trying to figure out how to insert my own images in Instance-aware Image Colorization, can you make a video of how to do it
there is martin luther king photos with color, most of them get edited to be b&w and spread like that to make people think it was a really, really long time ago
plz more information to install it and tahnks you so much
Do you think 1st place wins 2nd and 3rd place despite having the same foundation code because it uses a different (and lower) render factor which is supposed to give more vivid images? This could make any image from 1st place "appear" better in comparison?
Well technically 1st place’s code is evolved from Deoldify. But I am not sure how exactly different, but it has definitely grew not only architecturally but also training wise.
It starts at 2:40!
Why did I read it as "best colonization of 2020"?
May I know what software u se to stabilize old footage?

I was looking at the title and the thumbnail I read it as *Colonization AI*
I think color makes things that feel 100 years ago feel more like just a decade or two.
combine clorization, frame interpolation and resolution upscaling
Cant wait for Titanic being launch colorized
I am curious why AI almost always put blue on clothes.
colorizing old picture/film is like solving history puzzle
If you add a filter to the photo to change the color and make it black and white
What will it be then

Are there any Premiere Pro plugins that can do this trick? Hard to find...
I read colonization
How about Pixbim video colorizer any opinion
So this was what its like in the past before the Internet
make an update video!
I'd argue the first place AI colorizer did a better job than the original photo did. Exposure look nicer, colour saturation was nicer. The blacks looked less noisy aswell.
