Lightweight Deep Exemplar Colorization via Semantic Attention-Guided Laplacian Pyramid.

Exemplar-based colorization aims to generate plausible colors for a grayscale image with the guidance of a color reference image. The main challenging problem is finding the correct semantic correspondence between the target image and the reference image. However, the colors of the object and background are often confused in the existing methods.
