Let's transfer some style!

Posted on Sat 13 February 2016 in fun

A couple of months ago I had some fun playing with style-transfer, an implementation of the "A Neural Algorithm of Artistic Style" paper by L. Gatys, A. Ecker, and M. Bethge that allows you to transfer a style from one image to another image, while keeping the contents of the input image.

So, here are some examples of the images I generated. Below each of them you'll see the original image and the image the style was transfered from.

Čakovec

Cakovec output
