Abstract
This work analyzes the BigColor method, a fully automatic colorization 
approach that aims to meet the challenge of providing realistic and 
vivid colorization for complex and diverse images in real-world 
scenarios. The method is a BigGAN-inspired encoder-generator network, 
using a spatial feature map, enabling single forward-pass colorization, 
supporting arbitrary input resolutions, and producing multimodal 
colorization results. We provide a short analysis of the method's 
results and highlight some limitations alongside its achievements.
