A neural network that colors black and white images can be tested online

Several years ago, an article was published about the success of the University of California in creating a neural network that paints black and white images in realistic colors. Recently, reddit users  noticed that an online service  from Japanese researchers appeared on the network, which allows you to test a similar development online computer engineering jobs.

How it works?

We wrote about this in detail in the article about the achievements of scientists from Berkeley. However, Japanese researchers have their own story - the text and slides to it are available on the project page. The source code is available on GitHub (the web is written in Lua).

And what, the Japanese are doing as well as the scientists from Berkeley?

Not really. If the main problem of the UCLA network was excessively bright colors, then the Japanese network often turns out to be too dull on the contrary. Below we have prepared several examples of how the network colors images (and you share the results of your experiments in the comments). By the way, before uploading it to the site, it is not at all necessary to make the image black and white - if you upload a color image, the system will desaturate it.
