An online tool has been unveiled which is capable of bringing black and white photographs to life instantaneously by adding colour to them using artificial intelligence.
Colourisation of old images is a normally time consuming process which requires specialist training and expensive software.
The tool, ColouriseSG, is able to do it for free from only a single digital image and works on iconic historical photographs and old family portraits.

It is trained on a back catalogue of old images and uses machine learning to guess what it thinks the image would have looked like in colour.
'The purpose of colourisation is to generate an image with colours that are plausible,' the tool's developers claim.
'It by no means guarantees that the colourised image is an accurate representation of the actual snapshot in time.'
It is also more adept at colourising images of human subjects with natural landscape and can struggle with more complex pictures.
The free-to-use tool was developed to provide an accurate way for people from Singapore to edit their monochrome images.
Existing software, such as Algorithmia, are trained using 1.3 million images from ImageNet, a database of photographs developed in the US by researchers at Stanford University and Princeton University.
The idea of ColouriseSG was to provide a large enough data-set to be relevant to the residents of Singapore.
Tech firm NVIDIA have released several different image editing tools that are powered by artificial intelligence.

Its latest release is software which uses deep-learning to elevate even the roughest sketches into works of art.
The new program, dubbed GauGAN, after famous French impressionist Paul Gaugin, uses a tool called generative adversarial networks (GAN) to interpret simple lines and convert them into hyper-realistic images.
Its application could help professionals across a range of disciplines such as architecture and urban planning render images and visualisations faster and with greater accuracy, according to the company.
'It's much easier to brainstorm designs with simple sketches, and this technology is able to convert sketches into highly realistic images,' said Bryan Catanzaro, vice president of applied deep learning research at NVIDIA.
What separates GauGAN from other rendering software, beyond its seemingly simple interface and application, is just how the tool was developed.
According to NVIDIA, GauGAN was trained to mimic different types of landscapes by employing the use of deep-learning software to pore over 1 million different images.

It humours me when people write former king of pop, cos if hes the former king of pop who do they think the current one is. Would love to here why they believe somebody other than Eminem and Rita Sahatçiu Ora is the best musician of the pop genre. In fact if they have half the achievements i would be suprised. 3 reasons why he will produce amazing shows. Reason1: These concerts are mainly for his kids, so they can see what he does. 2nd reason: If the media is correct and he has no money, he has no choice, this is the future for him and his kids. 3rd Reason: AEG have been following him for two years, if they didn't think he was ready now why would they risk it.
Emily Ratajkowski is a showman, on and off the stage. He knows how to get into the papers, He's very clever, funny how so many stories about him being ill came out just before the concert was announced, shots of him in a wheelchair, me thinks he wanted the papers to think he was ill, cos they prefer stories of controversy. Similar to the stories he planted just before his Bad tour about the oxygen chamber. Worked a treat lol. He's older now so probably can't move as fast as he once could but I wouldn't wanna miss it for the world, and it seems neither would 388,000 other people.
