ColorFLUX: A Structure-Color Decoupling Framework for Old Photo Colorization

arXiv CS.CV

ArXi:2603.28162v1 Announce Type: new Old photos preserve invaluable historical memories, making their restoration and colorization highly desirable. While existing restoration models can address some degradation issues like denoising and scratch removal, they often struggle with accurate colorization. This limitation arises from the unique degradation inherent in old photos, such as faded brightness and altered color hues, which are different from modern photo distributions, creating a substantial domain gap during colorization.
