In this work we consider the {\em image matching} problem for two grayscale $n \times n$ images, $M_1$ and $M_2$ (where pixel values range from 0 to 1). Our goal is to find an affine transformation $T$ that maps pixels from $M_1$ to pixels…
Image colorization is the process of colorizing grayscale images or recoloring an already-color image. This image manipulation can be used for grayscale satellite, medical and historical images making them more expressive. With the help of…
Image colorization estimates RGB colors for grayscale images or video frames to improve their aesthetic and perceptual quality. Over the last decade, deep learning techniques for image colorization have significantly progressed,…
Blind image quality assessment is a challenging task particularly due to the unavailability of reference information. Training a deep neural network requires a large amount of training data which is not readily available for image quality.…
