NEURAL STYLE TRANSFER FOR MAKING ANALOGOUS IMAGES

WHAT IS IT?

Neural style transfer is a machine learning technique that merges the “content” of one image with the “style” of another. Here it is based on the implementation of paper image analogies.

HOW TO USE?

Before running this script, download the weights for the VGG16 model. This file contains only the convolutional layers of VGG16 which is 10% of the full size. Original source of full weights. The script assumes the weights are in the current working directory. If you place them somewhere else make sure to pass the --vgg-weights=<location-of-the-weights.h5 parameter> or set the VGG_WEIGHT_PATH environment variable.

Example script usage: python run.py images/arch-mask.jpg images/arch.jpg images/arch-newmask.jpg out/arch

For Example: python run.py images/arch-A.jpg images/arch-Ap.jpg images/arch-B.jpg out/arch

For Help Options - python run.py -h

Currently, A and A' must be the same size, the same holds for B and B'. Output size is the same as Image B, unless specified otherwise.
