New PeCA framework enhances animation video colorization

Researchers have introduced PeCA, a novel framework designed to enhance the colorization of animation videos. This training-free, plug-and-play system operates at test-time, leveraging spatial and temporal contexts to improve upon existing paint-bucket colorization methods. PeCA addresses the brittleness of current pipelines, which can struggle with ambiguous regions lacking sufficient context. Experiments demonstrate consistent performance gains across various benchmarks and extended video sequences. AI

IMPACT This research offers a potential improvement for automated colorization in animation production, addressing limitations in current methods.

    PeCA: Palette Context Assisted Inference for Test-Time Paint-Bucket Colourisation on Animation Videos

    arXiv:2608.00903v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: In animation production, paint-bucket colourisation for hand-drawn animation is a labour-intensive procedure that assigns each enclosed region in line sketches a colour from reference design sheets. Recent automatic paint-bucket col…
