colorization-v2¶

Use Case and High-Level Description¶

The colorization-v2 model is one of the colorization group of models designed to perform image colorization. Model was trained on ImageNet dataset. For details about this family of models, check out the repository.

Model consumes as input L-channel of LAB-image. Model give as output predict A- and B-channels of LAB-image.

Specification¶

Metric	Value
Type	Colorization
GFLOPs	83.6045
MParams	32.2360
Source framework	PyTorch*

Accuracy¶

The accuracy metrics were calculated between generated images by model and real validation images from ImageNet dataset. Results are obtained on subset of 2000 images.

Metric	Value
PSNR	26.99dB
SSIM	0.90

Also, metrics can be calculated using VGG16 caffe model and colorization as preprocessing. The results below are obtained on the validation images from ImageNet dataset.

For preprocessing rgb -> gray -> colorization received values:

Metric	Value with preprocessing	Value without preprocessing
Accuracy top-1	57.75%	70.96%
Accuracy top-5	81.50%	89.88%

Input¶

Original model¶
