Description
Résumé:This paper reviews published research in the field of computer-aided colorization technology. We argue that within this context, the colorization task can be considered to originate from computer graphics, advance by introducing computer vision, and progress towards the fusion of vision and graphics. Hence, we propose a specific taxonomy and organize the research work chronologically. We extend the existing reconstruction-based colorization evaluation techniques on the basis that aesthetic assessment should be introduced to ensure the computer- colored images closely satisfy human visual-related requirements. We then perform an aesthetic assessment using the proposed metric and existing evaluations, comparing the colorization performance of seven representative unconditional colorization models. Finally, we identify unresolved issues and propose fruitful areas for future research and development.
