batch-colourise-and-transfer-colour

A Python script to batch colourise photos and transfer colour to the high res original. colourising is currently done with the deepAI API, which uses Jason Antic's model. https://deepai.org/machine-learning-model/colorizer

This could also be applicable for downsizing videos and overlaying colour to the highres original, drastically reducing the time needed to colourise a video.

examples:

Run:

• Place your images into the input folder

• Open a terminal/cmd and cd into the folder

• Run python3 batch_colourise_with_deepai.py

Features:

• batch process a folder of images with the DeepAI API

• Overlay colour from the low res colourised image onto the original full res image automatically. (similar to PS Color blendmode)

• Overlay can be used for individual image sets.

Todo:

• scale image to upload locally

• proper GUI

• select folder instead of putting script in it

• select only individual files mode (done for blend but not batch, just run blend on it's own)

• local file input sanitization when selecting files
