This is the code for "How to Generate Art - Intro to Deep Learning #8' by Siraj Raval on YouTube
##Overview
This is the code for this video on Youtube by Siraj Raval as part of the Intro to Deep Learning Nanodegree with Udacity. We're going to re-purpose the pre-trained VGG16 convolutional network that won the ImageNet competition in 2014 for image classification to transfer the style of a given image to another. This is the original paper on the topic.
##Dependencies
run pip install -r requirements.txt to install the necessary dependencies
##Usage
If it doesn't exist, create a file called ~/.keras/keras.json and make sure it looks like the following:
{
"image_dim_ordering": "tf",
"epsilon": 1e-07,
"floatx": "float32",
"backend": "tensorflow"
}
Then you can run the code via typing jupyter notebook into terminal
#Coding Challenge - Due Date is Thursday, March 9th at 12 PM PST
Use 2 different style images and transfer them both onto a base image. This can be done several ways, take your pic! And if you want even more of a challenge, bonus points are given if you instead perform basic style transfer on video. Remember, a video is just a series of image frames. You'll learn a lot about matrix operations by doing this. Good luck!
