Welcome to the "Video Colorization with DeOldify and BMF" workshop! This workshop is designed to introduce participants to the fascinating world of video processing and colorization using Python, the DeOldify library, and the Babit Multi-Media Framework (BMF). Throughout this interactive session, you will gain hands-on experience in building a Python module that integrates DeOldify for colorizing black and white video frames, leveraging the capabilities of the BMF framework.
Whether you are a beginner in Python or have some experience in programming, this workshop is structured to enhance your understanding of video processing, machine learning applications in media, and the practical use of advanced Python libraries.
- Basic understanding of Python programming.
- Familiarity with basic concepts of video processing and neural networks (optional but helpful).
- A laptop with Python installed and access to the internet.
- CoLab link : https://colab.research.google.com/drive/1stpomzQV3fLicyCKrPVzVMREd5Rvad_-?usp=sharing
By the end of this workshop, you will be able to:
- Understand the role of DeOldify in colorizing black and white videos.
- Learn how to integrate DeOldify with the BMF framework for video processing.
- Handle video data streams and process video frames using Python.
- Debug and troubleshoot common issues in video processing modules.
- Explore the application of Python libraries like
numpyandPILin media processing.
The workshop is divided into several key sections:
- Setting Up the Environment : Guidance on setting up Python, DeOldify, BMF, and other necessary libraries.
- Introduction to BMF and DeOldify : Overview of BMF framework and DeOldify library, their functionalities, and their roles in video processing.
- Building the Module : Step-by-step instructions on building the
py_deoldify_moduleclass, integrating BMF and DeOldify for video colorization. - Code-Along Sessions : Interactive coding sessions where you will write and understand key parts of the module with guidance from the instructor.
- Debugging and Troubleshooting : Techniques to debug the module and solve common issues encountered during video processing.
- Practical Application : Applying the learned concepts to colorize a sample black and white video.
- Q&A and Discussion : Open session for questions, clarifications, and discussions about potential real-world applications and extensions of the module.
- Access to the workshop's GitHub repository containing starter code and resources.
- Documentation links for BMF and DeOldify.
- Slides and additional reading materials provided during the workshop.
This workshop is a unique opportunity to dive into the practical aspects of video processing and machine learning in media. We look forward to guiding you through this exciting journey and seeing the amazing applications you will be able to create with your newfound skills!
