Archive footage colorization
Colorizing historical black-and-white footage with working outputs and known artefacts.
Intention
Colorizing historical black-and-white footage with working outputs and known artefacts.
What exists today
Working outputs on sample reels.
Technical approach
Frame-wise colorization models with temporal smoothing and manual review.
Evidence and known limitations
- Colour is inferred, not recovered. Outputs are labelled as reconstructions.
- Rights for source footage must be cleared per reel.
