Deep Learning-Based Machine Color Emotion Generation

Abstract

This paper investigates generating machine color emotion through deep learning. The grayscale image colorization model’s training process resembles human memory color. Sixty images were recolored and quality evaluated to explore machine generated color impressions. Six experimental samples were recolored under D65, A, CWF, and TL84 light sources. Changes in lightness, chroma, and hue angle compared the original and colorized images, exploring light source effects on machine color perception. Analyzing differences in coloring results within the CIEL* a* b* color space for pixels with equal grayscale verified machine color emotion generation. Results show the machine learns to form color impressions from samples. Different light source color temperatures impact color prediction accuracy. The machine accurately colors images based on semantic context, demonstrating spontaneous color emotion generation through deep learning. This research positively contributes to the development of intelligent devices with color emotion.
