<b>04/10/2020 Update</b>: @mabdelhack provided a windows installation guide for the PyTorch model in Python 3.6. Check out the Windows branch for the guide.
<b>10/3/2019 Update</b>: Our technology is also now available in Adobe Photoshop Elements 2020. See this blog and video for more details.
<b>9/3/2018 Update</b>: The code now supports a backend PyTorch model (with PyTorch 0.5.0+). Please find the Local Hints Network training code in the colorization-pytorch repository.

We first describe the system <b>(0) Prerequisities</b> and steps for <b>(1) Getting started</b>. We then describe the interactive colorization demo <b>(2) Interactive Colorization (Local Hints Network)</b>. There are two demos: (a) a "barebones" version in iPython notebook and (b) the full GUI we used in our paper. We then provide an example of the <b>(3) Global Hints Network</b>.
<img src='https://richzhang.github.io/InteractiveColorization/index_files/imagenet_showcase_small.jpg' width=800>(0) Prerequisites
- Linux or OSX
- Caffe or PyTorch
- CPU or NVIDIA GPU + CUDA CuDNN.
(1) Getting Started
- Clone this repo:
git clone https://github.com/junyanz/interactive-deep-colorization ideepcolor
cd ideepcolor
- Download the reference model
bash ./models/fetch_models.sh
- Install Caffe or PyTorch and 3rd party Python libraries (OpenCV, scikit-learn and scikit-image). See the Requirements for more details.
(2) Interactive Colorization (Local Hints Network)
<img src='imgs/teaser_v3.jpg' width=800>We provide a "barebones" demo in iPython notebook, which does not require QT. We also provide our full GUI demo.
(2a) Barebones Interactive Colorization Demo
- Run
ipython notebook
and click onDemoInteractiveColorization.ipynb
.
If you need to convert the Notebook to an older version, use jupyter nbconvert --to notebook --nbformat 3 ./DemoInteractiveColorization.ipynb
.
(2b) Full Demo GUI
-
Install Qt5 and QDarkStyle. (See Installation)
-
Run the UI:
python ideepcolor.py --gpu [GPU_ID] --backend [CAFFE OR PYTORCH]
. Arguments are described below:
--win_size [512] GUI window size
--gpu [0] GPU number
--image_file ['./test_imgs/mortar_pestle.jpg'] path to the image file
--backend ['caffe'] either use 'caffe' or 'pytorch'; 'caffe' is the official model from siggraph 2017, and 'pytorch' is the same weights converted
- User interactions
- <b>Adding points</b>: Left-click somewhere on the input pad
- <b>Moving points</b>: Left-click and hold on a point on the input pad, drag to desired location, and let go
- <b>Changing colors</b>: For currently selected point, choose a recommended color (middle-left) or choose a color on the ab color gamut (top-left)
- <b>Removing points</b>: Right-click on a point on the input pad
- <b>Changing patch size</b>: Mouse wheel changes the patch size from 1x1 to 9x9
- <b>Load image</b>: Click the load image button and choose desired image
- <b>Restart</b>: Click on the restart button. All points on the pad will be removed.
- <b>Save result</b>: Click on the save button. This will save the resulting colorization in a directory where the
image_file
was, along with the user input ab values. - <b>Quit</b>: Click on the quit button.
(3) Global Hints Network
<img src='https://richzhang.github.io/InteractiveColorization/index_files/lab_all_figures45k_small.jpg' width=800>We include an example usage of our Global Hints Network, applied to global histogram transfer. We show its usage in an iPython notebook.
-
Add
./caffe_files
to yourPYTHONPATH
-
Run
ipython notebook
. Click on./DemoGlobalHistogramTransfer.ipynb
Installation
-
Install Caffe or PyTorch. The Caffe model is official. PyTorch is a reimplementation.
- Install Caffe: see the Caffe installation and Ubuntu installation document. Please compile the Caffe with the python layer support (set
WITH_PYTHON_LAYER=1
in theMakefile.config
) and build Caffe python library bymake pycaffe
.
You also need to add
pycaffe
to yourPYTHONPATH
. Usevi ~/.bashrc
to edit the environment variables.PYTHONPATH=/path/to/caffe/python:$PYTHONPATH LD_LIBRARY_PATH=/path/to/caffe/build/lib:$LD_LIBRARY_PATH
- Install PyTorch: see the PyTorch installation guide.
- Install Caffe: see the Caffe installation and Ubuntu installation document. Please compile the Caffe with the python layer support (set
-
Install scikit-image, scikit-learn, opencv, Qt5, and QDarkStyle pacakges:
# ./install/install_deps.sh
sudo pip install scikit-image
sudo pip install scikit-learn
sudo apt-get install python-opencv
sudo apt-get install qt5-default
sudo pip install qdarkstyle
For Conda users, type the following command lines (this may work for full Anaconda but not Miniconda):
# ./install/install_conda.sh
conda install -c anaconda protobuf ## photobuf
conda install -c anaconda scikit-learn=0.19.1 ## scikit-learn
conda install -c anaconda scikit-image=0.13.0 ## scikit-image
conda install -c menpo opencv=2.4.11 ## opencv
conda install -c anaconda qt ## qt5
conda install -c auto qdarkstyle ## qdarkstyle
For Docker users, please follow the Docker document.
