We present a novel technique to automatically colorize grayscale images that combine the U-Net model and Fusion Layer features. This approach allows the model to learn the colorization of images from pre-trained U-Net. Moreover, the Fusion layer is applied to merge local information results dependent on small image patches with global priors of an entire image on each class, forming visually more compelling colorization results. Finally, we validate our approach with a user study evaluation and compare it against state-of-the-art, resulting in improvements.
