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.

  • Upload or local-folder input
  • Side-by-side source and result comparison
  • Downloadable colorized output
  • Large model assets managed with Git LFS

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.
