Now give it a picture of a bike shed.
It came out red :-(

#22I'd be interested to see what kind of hidden biases this might reveal, especially about people, e.g. skin tone, eye color, etc.

#23I'm colorblind and I can't tell the difference between the prediction and the GT. My coworker says that they have slight differences in some colors.
Congrats, you wrote the first colorblind NN ever!

#24This looks pretty cool. Do any photography people or film people can use this?

#25Earlier quoted context omitted.
You can use the previous few frames for fixing this problem for videos
There might be a few scenes in between the viewings of the truck.
Are there any other issues or advantages that you're able to see that would be unique to movies? While I'm unable to think of a use, seems like there's the potiental for side channel analyis via music, dialog, background-noises, scripts, etc.

#26Can we get some instructions on how to actually use this. I want to test it out on pictures from: https://www.reddit.com/r/OldSchoolCool/
unfortunately I'm not contributor of this project, but I hope author can answer soon )

#27The title says it's open source, but I couldn't actually see what the license is? (Maybe I missed it?)
It is open source. You can see the source. The license is no-license, so you can (only) fork it. That way, people can clone from your username instead of the original author, although that doesn't make any difference as they're all hosted on GitHub.

And it looks like you have to download a torrent in order to get something. But yeah, it's missing a license and is still proprietary.

#29I'd apply it to an old B&W film to show off. Imagine Ben Hur or Citizen Kane in color!
> Ben Hur The widely known Ben Hur (1959), the one with the chariot race, already is in colour. Did you mean "Ben-Hur: A Tale of the Christ" from 1925?
Part of the 1925 version was already in color (2 strip Technicolor).

I see a potential problem with moving pictures - the neural network might decide that while red was an appropriate color for the truck in the last frame, blue is more likely in this frame.
I suspect that if an artist selected colors for a few key frames, the computer could figure out the rest of the frames.
