Overview
System brief.
The application combines a lightweight web interface with OpenCV's DNN module and a Caffe colorization model based on the work of Zhang et al.

Inference / 01
A direct image-to-image workflow
A grayscale input is processed through OpenCV's DNN interface using the supplied pre-trained Caffe model. The Streamlit layer presents both versions together and exposes the generated result for download.
Model / 02
Research-backed, pre-trained colorization
The project credits the colorization method introduced by Zhang and collaborators at ECCV 2016. Model files are distributed separately through Git LFS because of their size.
