ARTIFICIAL INTELLIGENCE OR MAN: COLORIZATION OF BLACK AND WHITE PHOTOGRAPHS

In this work, black and white photographs of Mate Kaić were colorized. Colorization was done manually and using several artificial intelligence software. In this research, 15 photos were colorized, the artificial intelligence needed less time than a human. By conducting an online survey and subjective evaluation, Artificial Intelligence in most cases showed a better result in the choice of colors and a more aesthetically attractive choice of combination of tones. However, artificial intelligence proved to be less intelligent with examples of photos showing traditional clothing. The results show that the best way to colorize photos is actual a combination of artificial intelligence and human.
