Abstract
A method for colorization of images is presented. The method comprises the following steps: Displaying an image (); applying multiple color markings (at least two colors are different) to the displayed image (); automatically coloring the image by applying a constrained optimization to a cost function that is responsive to the marked colors and the intensity differences of the neighborhoods of some of all of the pixels (); the resultant image is subsequently stored (), displayed (), or transferred ().
