Colorization Transformer

Kumar, Manoj, Weissenborn, Dirk, Kalchbrenner, Nal

Understand

We present the Colorization Transformer, a novel approach for diverse high fidelity image colorization based on self-attention.

  • Given a grayscale image, the colorization proceeds in three steps.
  • We first use a conditional autoregressive transformer to produce a low resolution coarse coloring of the grayscale image.
  • Our architecture adopts conditional transformer layers to effectively condition grayscale input.
