2.      Colorizing Night Vision Pictures in military applications

Night vision is seeing in the dark through technology. Technological night vision works on one of two principles. The first is by detecting infrared radiation, which is a form of energy emitted by all objects regardless of the ambient light conditions. A device based on this principle is called an infrared camera. The second is by intensifying the small amount of light present even at night, from the stars and the moon.

The pictures generated are mostly green because of the phosphor screen used, so it is required to recolor the picture for better view.

  Night vision is not only used in the military applications, BMW has added a night vision cameras in their new models in order to see roads at night.

Night vision needs real time colorizing to be able to see the colored images wither in the military night vision goggles, in the cars or any other application that needs night vision.

3.      Colorizing Ultrasound Pictures

Ultrasound color processing is a technique that enhances the pictures taken by the Ultrasound. It deploys unique algorithms for different echo environments. That enhances the image a lot and helps doctors to detect things hard to detect with standard grayscale ultrasound.

Also Ultrasound can be real time to color the images on the fly.

4.      Colorizing Pictures to the Color Blinded People Level

8% of the males and 2% of the females in the world are color blinded so colorization can be used to convert pictures to their level and see what they can really see.

This can help a lot in choosing colors for the road signs and emergency signs ,  for example with the current color standards Deutranope people ( a common type of color blindness)  can’t see the traffic lights

5.      Colorizing Pictures to help in decorations
