Grayscale Image Colorization ML Frameworks

Deep learning projects for automatically colorizing grayscale images (photographs, historical images, manga, comics, SAR imagery) back to color. Does NOT include general image-to-image translation, style transfer, or other image enhancement tasks unrelated to the grayscale-to-color conversion problem.

There are 36 grayscale image colorization frameworks tracked. 1 score above 50 (established tier). The highest-rated is richzhang/colorization at 51/100 with 3,465 stars. 1 of the top 10 are actively maintained.
