Chromatic Self Attention

Chromatic self-attention (CSA) enhances traditional self-attention mechanisms by incorporating color information into the attention process, improving the handling of visual data. Current research focuses on applying CSA within various architectures, including generative adversarial networks (GANs) and diffusion models, to address challenges in image and video colorization, style transfer, and filter removal. These advancements lead to improved color fidelity, temporal consistency (in video), and more accurate feature preservation in image manipulation tasks. The resulting improvements in image and video processing have significant implications for computer vision applications and artistic image manipulation.
