We used a new web tool to colorize half a dozen Chronicle photos from nearly a century ago, showing what 1940s USS Texas, the 1950s Houston skyline and more look like in full color.
Over the years we've published a mountain of photos of Old Houston. Most of those are scans from black and white prints.
Unless you're sitting on a large pile of Kodachrome slides of Houston, you don't see color images of the city from the early-to-mid-20th century very often. Now, a free web tool by a Swedish machine-learning researcher that went live recently has taken the mystery out of those old photos by using AI to colorize them. As such, we can see late 1950s Main Street or the USS Texas being moved to its home at San Jacinto in the late 1940s in resplendent color.by Emil Wallner allows users to upload images, which the website notes are not stored, and choose from a number of filters to find the right color mix.
