The CICERO project has among its objectives the preservation of cultural heritage through photography. Many times we find black and white images of family, monuments, or shows, and how would they be in color? With this online tool it is already possible to do it automatically (available in more than 30 languages): www.myheritage.com/
Colorize your black & white family photos automatically with the world’s best deep learning technology. Share with your family and friends and delight them.
The colors are reconstructed by the colorization algorithm and may not be accurate. Consider this a technological simulation that gives its best guess on what the past looked like, by bridging between the past and the present. The model was trained by millions of example photos, and thanks to this it is capable of generating very realistic results. But there are cases where it has no way of knowing what the true colors were (for example, for specific items of clothing) and this may result in incorrect colors.
