PeCA: Palette Context Assisted Inference for Test-Time Paint-Bucket Colourisation on Animation Videos
In animation production, paint-bucket colourisation for hand-drawn animation is a labour-intensive procedure that assigns each enclosed region in line sketches a colour from reference design sheets. Recent automatic paint-bucket colourisation pipelines mirror this workflow via region correspondence, but correspondences can be brittle when regions are ambiguous fragments without proper context. In this paper, we propose Palette Context Assisted (PeCA), a new training-free, plug-and-play framework for animation video colourisation that aims to close this gap at test-time via reasoning over spatial and temporal contexts. Extensive experiments on existing benchmarks and a newly introduced lon...
