Artistic Octocat Generator

• GIF

Inspiration

My inspiration of this project is to produce creative artistic effects with help of AI. Just like Google released a production known as “Deep Dream” in 2015, and the internet took it was throbbing enthusiasm.

What it does

Generate artistic images of boring octocat images.

How I built it

I have used CNN to classify an image and applied optimization technique on input image to enhance its patterns. I have used VGG16 a 16 layer CNN. I take a content image and a style reference image. After applying optimization technique and calculated loss functions using Euclidean Distance i have generated an artistic image of octocat.

Challenges I ran into

I faced difficulty in calculation of style loss and content loss.

Accomplishments that I'm proud of

This is my first time participation in hackthon and i am happy that i have able to build my project successfully.

What I learned

I learned complexities of CNN and deep learning.

What's next for Artistic Octocat Generator

In future i will planning to build an app on my model so users can generate their own artistic style octocates instead of painting them by hand.
