DeOldify is a Deep Learning (DL) based project for colorizing and restoring old images and video. It helps us add color old black and white photos adding life into them. The DL model uses a unique NoGAN architecture to train the model. We will use this model to convert some old black and white photos of a city adding color to them.

Article quality

How is your article unique? Tell us what makes your approach different from similar articles that have published on the same topic? Is yours more in-depth? Does it cover additional topics? Do you provide handy tips or anecdotal advice?

DeOldify is a model that hasn't been around a long time. Not many tutorials exist on the web regarding the subject. With only a few lines of code, I will show our readers how they can use the model in their projects in the simplest way possible.
