Evaluation of image colorization performance specifically on a 500-image subset of ImageNet designated for human evaluation (test split), measured using human perception metrics like AMT Fooling Rate.

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 | Image Colorization |
| Dataset (including any stated split) | ImageNet 500-image human evaluation (test) |
| Metric | AMT Fooling Rate |
| Unit | PERCENT |
| Direction | Higher is better |
| Results loaded | 11 of 11 |
| 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

- [AMT Fooling Rate](<https://www.sota2.com/research/sota/image-colorization-on-imagenet-500-image-human-evaluation-test.md?metric=AMT%20Fooling%20Rate>): Higher is better; unit: PERCENT.
