Style-Transfer

Use Neural Networks to Paint Images in Famous Styles

For more info: Research Paper

Requirements:

• Python 3.6.2 (https://www.python.org/downloads/release/python-362/)
• Numpy (https://pypi.org/project/numpy/)
• Tensorflow (https://pypi.org/project/tensorflow/)
• Keras (https://pypi.org/project/Keras/)

Installation:

• Download and extract entire repositry
• Open cmd and run the following to install required modules

pip install -r requirements.txt 

• Download Pre-trained VGG network and put it in the main file, or specify its location using the --network option.

• Once requirements are installed download a painting of any style you need, eg- Scream (Already provided) and the original image to be painted (Golden Gate Bridge).

Running

python style_transfer.py --content <content file> --styles <style file> --output <output file>

Run python style_transfer.py --help to see a list of all options.

Use --checkpoint-output and --checkpoint-iterations to change checkpoint save location and iteration (default: 'output/output_{:05}.jpg', 10).

Use --iterations to change the number of iterations (default: 500).

Examples:

With Golden Gate Bridge and the Scream

With Emma Watson and Mona Lisa
