Automatic Cartoon Colorization Based on Convolutional Neural Network
Domonkos Varga, Csaba Attila Szabó, Tamás Szirányi · 2017
This paper deals with automatic cartoon colorization. This is a hard issue, since it is an ill-posed problem that usually requires user intervention to achieve high quality. Motivated by the recent successes in natural image colorization based on deep learning techniques, we investigate the colorization problem at the cartoon domain using Convolutional Neural Network. To our best knowledge, no existing papers or research studies address this problem using deep learning techniques. Here we investigate a deep Convolutional Neural Network based automatic color filling method for cartoons.
