We are conducting joint research with the goal of improving the efﬁciency ofcoloring work in anime production. We have developed a coloring system thatcan learn from even a small amount of data, and by simply coloring some of theuncolored videos (sets of line drawings), it is possible to automatically color theremaining line drawings. This makes it possible to handle coloring of works ofvarious styles, characters, accessories, etc. compared to previous systems. In
addition, this system is being tested in-house at OLM, and we are working to
improve it based on feedback so that it will become a tool that truly helps artists.
