Artistic style transfer using convolutional neural network

The repository contains the code for artistic style transfer using convolutional neural network written using keras and Tensorflow as mentioned in the A Neural Algorithm of Artistic Style.

Important I ran this code on my laptop which had Nvidia GPU installed, which is why I used tensorflow-gpu to take advantage of my laptop GPU. If your machine doesn't have GPU, then modify line 56 in the requirements.txt from tensorflow-gpu==1.9.0 to tensorflow==1.9.0

Setup

1. Make sure that Python (3.6), pip and conda are installed in your system.
2. Now, create a new conda environment as: conda create --name artisticenv python=3.6 pip
3. Now, activate this environment as follows:
   • Windows: activate artisticenv
   • Linux and macOS: source activate artisticenv
4. Clone this repository: git clone https://github.com/vishav/neuralstyletransfer.git
5. Change directory to neuralstyletransfer
6. Install the project requirements from requirements.txt as follows: pip install - r requirements.txt
7. Now, start jupyter and run the notebook: jupyter notebook
