Abstract
A video processing system includes a computing platform having a hardware processor and a memory storing a software code including a convolutional neural network (CNN). The hardware processor executes the software code to receive video data including a key video frame in color and a video sequence in gray scale, determine a first estimated colorization for each frame of the video sequence except the key video frame based on a colorization of a previous frame, and determine a second estimated colorization for each frame of the video sequence except the key video frame based on the key video frame in color. For each frame of the video sequence except the key video frame, the software code further blends the first estimated colorization with the second estimated colorization using a color fusion stage of the CNN to produce a colorized video sequence corresponding to the video sequence in gray scale.
