BW to color

This project is a part of Data Science hobby projects of mine.

-- Project Status: [Completed]

Project Intro/Objective

The purpose of this project is to use machine learning and computer vision techniques to convert the Black and White Videos to color. Thanks for Deoldify model created by Jason Antic. DeOldify is based on the fast.ai library — which brings more power and optimization for deep learning developers.DeOldify is using Generative Adversarial Networks with the iterative interplay between two Neural Networks Generator and Discriminator.

Methods Used

  • Machine Learning
  • Video GAN
  • Deoldify

Technologies

  • Python
  • Jupyter

Project Description

I have fed short videos of old black and white from youtube and Imgur to run the model and generate the colored version of the videos. Some of the results can be found below

Charlie_Chaplin_Being_A_Sniper

Devdas_Singing_for_Parvathi (old ANR and Savitri Telugu classic)

Ayn_Rand_Interview (Author of Fountain Head and Atlas Shrugged)

Getting Started

  1. Clone this repo (for help see this tutorial).
  2. You can find the videos or gif's from sources like Youtube or imgur
  3. I suggest you to run the notebook in Colab if you don't have a personal GPU and dont forget to set the Runtype to 'GPU'
  4. The process time is propotional to the length and size of the videos. I suggest first try with gif's as takes relatively less time for process.
  5. The processes videos can be found in Deoldify --> results folder

If interested you can checkout some of the videos generated by me using this model by clicking on the links below.
