Hidenori Watanave, an associate professor at Tokyo Metropolitan University, has been exploring a tool created by researchers at Japan’s Waseda University that colorizes images using neural networks and posting some of his results to Twitter.
Waseda University’s online project, called Neural Network-based Automatic Image Colorization, was developed by researchers Satoshi Iizuka, Edgar Simo-Serra and Hiroshi Ishikawa. Neural networks are computer systems that work in a way that’s similar to the human brain. Anyone can use their web-based tool to add color to black-and-white images.
