Convert grayscale png to RGB png image

问题:

I have a dataset of medical images in grayscale Png format which must be converted to RGB format. Tried many solutions but in vain.

If you want to just convert the format, the following method will help you:

In python3, using PILLOW and Numpy:

From PIL import Image
import numpy as np

im = Image.open(path/to/image, 'r').convert('L')
im = np.stack((im,)*3, axis=-1)
im = Image.fromarray(im)
im.save(path/to/save)

But if you want to colorize the image, know that colorization is an well-known image translation problem. Even if multiple approachs exist depending on the domain, I don't know any method that colorize any kind of images.

Some ways of doing so is to train a neural network, but for that, you need to have a dataset of B/W and colored images. Here are some approaches:

• Using CNNs and considering the colorization as a regression problem: Let there be Color!
• Using CNNs and considering the colorization as a classification problem: Colorful Image Colorization
• Using GANs : cycle-gan
