Evaluation of Image Colorization performance on the ILSVRC challenge set 2012, measured using PSNR.

A research result applies to its stated dataset, split, metric and evaluation configuration. Compare like-for-like settings, preserve the metric's unit and direction, and distinguish paper-reported results from independent reproduction. The best result recorded here is not a claim of exhaustive, current global coverage.

| Scope | Recorded value |
| --- | --- |
| Task | Colorization |
| Dataset (including any stated split) | ILSVRC challenge set 2012 |
| Metric | PSNR (dB) |
| Unit | SCALAR |
| Direction | Higher is better |
| Results loaded | 7 of 7 |
| Coverage | All results currently returned for this benchmark |

Evaluation settings may differ between results. The original papers and recorded configurations are needed to establish comparability. A shared metric name alone does not establish an identical protocol.

## Metrics

- [PSNR (dB)](<https://www.sota2.com/research/sota/colorization-on-ilsvrc-challenge-set-2012.md?metric=PSNR%20(dB)>): Higher is better; unit: SCALAR.
