Given a monochrome manga and reference images as inputs, our\nsystem generates a plausible color version of the manga. This is the first work\nto address the colorization of an entire manga title (a set of manga pages).\nOur method colorizes a whole page (not a single panel) semi-automatically, with\nthe same color for the same character across multiple panels. To colorize the\ntarget character by the color from the reference image, we extract a color\nfeature from the reference and feed it to the colorization network to help the\ncolorization. Our approach employs adversarial loss to encourage the effect of\nthe color features. Optionally, our tool allows users to revise the\ncolorization result interactively. By feeding the color features to our deep\ncolorization network, we accomplish colorization of the entire manga using the\ndesired colors for each panel.","url_abs":"http://arxiv.org/abs/1706.06759v4","url_pdf":"http://arxiv.org/pdf/1706.06759v4.pdf","source":{"archive":"pwc-archive (Hugging Face), CC BY-SA 4.0","snapshot":"2025-07-28","licence_url":"https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-sa/4.0/legalcode","row_kind":"abstracts"},"code_links":[{"paper_slug":"comicolorization-semi-automatic-manga","repo_url":"https://github.com/DwangoMediaVillage/Comicolorization","is_official":1,"mentioned_in_paper":1,"mentioned_in_github":1,"framework":"none","reach":null}],"tasks":[{"task_slug":"colorization","task_name":"Colorization"}],"methods":[{"method_slug":"colorization","method_name":"Colorization"}],"datasets_introduced":[],"methods_introduced":[],"results":[],"syntology":{"atlas_url":"https://app.syntology.ai/?focus=1706.06759","mcp":null,"developers":"https://syntology.ai/developers"},"arxiv_metadata":null,"syntology_extracted_results":null}
