Colorizing single images will always been a bespoke task. There are just too much missing data in the image to be able to create high quality colorizations from the photo alone.

However, I think the real application here is colorizing frames of movies. Imagine being able to turn black and white historical footage into color. It won't be as good looking as a single image, but it would be good enough i bet.

I imagine applying this to a video will perhaps be better than the stills, motion helps to hide errors.
