    Purpose of the Study:

    • To develop a novel single-step diffusion framework for efficient and high-quality image colorization.
    • To address limitations of multi-step diffusion models in colorization tasks.
    • To reduce computational cost and improve color consistency.

    Main Methods:

    • Proposed a single-step diffusion framework for image colorization.
    • Introduced a color uncertainty estimation (CUE) module to guide the diffusion process.
