How to colorise black and white movies? What techniques are used to colorise old black and white movies? Are there different techniques? How to choose the right technique?
Convert movie to pictures (1 second = 24 pictures ; so 1 hour = 86,400 pictures ; average 90 min. movie = 129,600 pictures). Colorize every individual picture using the DeepLearning API which gives decent results comparable to the hand-colorized movies of the late 20th century. The Solomon Society uses this to convert old newsreel footage and other curiosities with impressive results.
It sounds like a lot of work, and it is (actually the work is simple but repetitive &amp; massive), but a modern PC with an upper class video card, maximal RAM and a ton of free disk space should be able to pull it off fine given some time.
