Imagination-based automatic image colorization

The authors propose a framework for automatic image colorization that allows iterative editing by generating multiple colorized images as references to guide the colorization. A key module is the Imagination Module, which leverages diffusion models to synthesize reference images containing diverse and realistic colors based on understanding the content and structure of the input grayscale image. This mimics human imagination and creativity in the colorization process. A Reference Refinement Module then selects the optimal reference composition to colorize the input. Compared to previous automatic colorization methods, this framework allows localized edits and modifications of the results by changing the reference images.
