Texture Recognition Based Natural Gray Images Coloring Technique

In this paper, we propose a new technique for computer coloring gray scale images. This technique works for texture based images like natural scenes. It´s based on segmenting the image into different regions according to their textures and then classifying these textures to predefined texture classes to get their real colors. Recognition of these textures is performed by matching these textures with a training set stored in a special database. Most of authors working in coloring of gray scale images have used primitive methods for coloring which are both inaccurate and limited. At the end of this paper we show that our coloring system has succeeded to colorize the natural gray images with real colors in high quality.
