我用AI給黃金時(shí)代的好萊塢明星著色

Nowadays, photographers use black and white photography to convey emotion by playing with tones, contrasts, and shadows, but it wasn't always an option to choose. Color photography brings photographs to life and reveals every little vivid detail that creates a compelling image. Photographers from the past could only convey the world they were living in in black and grey. Have you ever wondered what these photographers saw that very moment? I have.

如今，攝影師使用黑白攝影來傳達(dá)情感，通過調(diào)整色調(diào)、對(duì)比和陰影，但這并不總是一種選擇。彩色攝影帶來了生活的照片，并揭示了每一個(gè)生動(dòng)的細(xì)節(jié)，創(chuàng)造一個(gè)引人注目的圖像。過去的攝影師只能用黑色和灰色來表達(dá)他們所生活的世界。你有沒有想過這些攝影師在那一刻看到了什么?我有。

Digital artists spend hours trying to recreate old black and white photographs in realistic colors with impressive results—just check the incredible work of colorists Marina Amaral, Andrea Erali, or Olga Shirinina previously featured on Bored Panda. It's intricate and time-consuming work that requires not only great editing skills, but a lot of knowledge and research of historical context to color the image as accurately as possible.

數(shù)字藝術(shù)家們花費(fèi)數(shù)小時(shí)試圖用逼真的色彩重現(xiàn)舊的黑白照片，并取得令人印象深刻的效果——只要看看色彩師Marina Amaral, Andrea Erali，或Olga Shirinina之前在Bored Panda網(wǎng)站上展示的令人難以置信的作品就知道了。這是一項(xiàng)復(fù)雜而耗時(shí)的工作，不僅需要高超的編輯技巧，還需要大量的知識(shí)和對(duì)歷史背景的研究，以便盡可能準(zhǔn)確地為圖像著色。

I wondered if, with the fast advancement of artificial intelligence and machine learning, this scrupulous job can be done by technology as well as by humans. Well, only time can tell, but it seems like the future is near. I have found this image colorization API called DeepAI that allows you to colorize black and white photos and videos in a few seconds.

我想知道，隨著人工智能和機(jī)器學(xué)習(xí)的快速發(fā)展，這項(xiàng)嚴(yán)謹(jǐn)?shù)墓ぷ魇欠窨梢杂杉夹g(shù)和人類完成。好吧，只有時(shí)間能告訴我們，但似乎未來就在眼前。我發(fā)現(xiàn)了一個(gè)名為DeepAI的圖像著色API，它可以讓你在幾秒鐘內(nèi)為黑白照片和視頻著色。

I tested the program with these iconic B&W images of celebrities from the golden age of Hollywood. The result is far from perfect and in most cases needs to be at least touched up in Photoshop or other programs, but I was surprised by how much a deep learning model can achieve!

我用好萊塢黃金時(shí)代名人的B&W形象來測試這個(gè)節(jié)目。結(jié)果并不完美，在大多數(shù)情況下至少需要在Photoshop或其他程序中進(jìn)行潤色，但我驚訝于一個(gè)深度學(xué)習(xí)模型可以達(dá)到的效果!
