Project Description

In today’s digital age, we sometimes come across memories that are old black-and-white images that lack the vibrancy and realism of color. Imagine adding colors to those black-and-white memories to make them come to life.

In this project, will learn how to colorize grayscale images using DeOldify, a deep learning-based tool that colorizes and restores old black-and-white photos with remarkable accuracy.
