Neural Style

A Neural Algorithm of Artistic Style by Leon A. Gatys, Alexander S. Ecker, and Matthias Bethge.

python main.py optim --content-image images/content/venice-boat.jpg --style-image images/styles/candy.jpg

• --content-image: path to content image.
• --style-image: path to style image.
• --output-image: path for saving the output image.
• --content-size: the content image size to test on.
• --style-size: the style image size to test on.
• --cuda: set it to 1 for running on GPU, 0 for CPU.

Real-time Style Transfer

Multi-style Generative Network for Real-time Transfer [arXiv] [project] Hang Zhang, Kristin Dana @article{zhang2017multistyle, title={Multi-style Generative Network for Real-time Transfer}, author={Zhang, Hang and Dana, Kristin}, journal={arXiv preprint arXiv:1703.06953}, year={2017} }

Stylize Images Using Pre-trained MSG-Net

0. Download the pre-trained model

   python models/download_model.py

1. Test the model

   python main.py eval --content-image images/content/venice-boat.jpg --style-image images/styles/candy.jpg --model models/21styles.params --content-size 1024

   • If you don't have a GPU, simply set --cuda=0. For a different style, set --style-image path/to/style. If you would to stylize your own photo, change the --content-image path/to/your/photo. More options:

   • --content-image: path to content image you want to stylize.

   • --style-image: path to style image (typically covered during the training).

   • --model: path to the pre-trained model to be used for stylizing the image.

   • --output-image: path for saving the output image.

   • --content-size: the content image size to test on.

   • --cuda: set it to 1 for running on GPU, 0 for CPU.

Train Your Own MSG-Net Model

0. Download the COCO dataset

   bash dataset/download_dataset.sh

1. Train the model

   python main.py train --epochs 4

   • If you would like to customize styles, set --style-folder path/to/your/styles. More options:
   • --style-folder: path to the folder style images.
   • --vgg-model-dir: path to folder where the vgg model will be downloaded.
   • --save-model-dir: path to folder where trained model will be saved.
   • --cuda: set it to 1 for running on GPU, 0 for CPU.

The code is mainly modified from PyTorch-Style-Transfer.
