Fully automated black and white movies colorization system

Since the human visual system is sensitive to colors rather than gray shades, we aim to emphasize the appearance of black and white movies and recolor them to obtain near natural colored movies that look like their original colors. The goal of our research is to implement a powerful automatic coloring system that is suitable for coloring movies with high quality colors and in fast time as possible. Our proposed system based on colorizing the movie shot by shot rather than frame by frame, so that different techniques are presented like shot cut detection, motion estimation, similarity features between images and colorization. By this paper we have succeeded to propose and implement a complete automatic colorization system specified for movies and we nearly achieve our goals.
