## Fast Style Transfer in [TensorFlow](https://github.com/tensorflow/tensorflow)
Add styles from famous paintings to any photo in a fraction of a second! [You can even style videos!](#video-stylization)
It takes 100ms on a 2015 Titan X to style the MIT Stata Center (1024×680) like Udnie, by Francis Picabia.
Our implementation is based off of a combination of Gatys' [A Neural Algorithm of Artistic Style](https://arxiv.org/abs/1508.06576), Johnson's [Perceptual Losses for Real-Time Style Transfer and Super-Resolution](http://cs.stanford.edu/people/jcjohns/eccv16/), and Ulyanov's [Instance Normalization](https://arxiv.org/abs/1607.08022).

## Video Stylization
Here we transformed every frame in a video, then combined the results. [Click to go to the full demo on YouTube!](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xVJwwWQlQ1o) The style here is Udnie, as above.
See how to generate these videos [here](#stylizing-video)!
## Image Stylization
We added styles from various paintings to a photo of Chicago. Click on thumbnails to see full applied style images.
## Implementation Details
Our implementation uses TensorFlow to train a fast style transfer network. We use roughly the same transformation network as described in Johnson, except that batch normalization is replaced with Ulyanov's instance normalization, and the scaling/offset of the output `tanh` layer is slightly different. We use a loss function close to the one described in Gatys, using VGG19 instead of VGG16 and typically using "shallower" layers than in Johnson's implementation (e.g. we use `relu1_1` rather than `relu1_2`). Empirically, this results in larger scale style features in transformations.
## Virtual Environment Setup (Anaconda) - Windows/Linux

## Documentation
### Training Style Transfer Networks
Use `style.py` to train a new style transfer network. Run `python style.py` to view all the possible parameters. Training takes 4-6 hours on a Maxwell Titan X. [More detailed documentation here](docs.md#stylepy). **Before you run this, you should run `setup.sh`**. Example usage:
python style.py --style path/to/style/img.jpg \
--checkpoint-dir checkpoint/path \
--test path/to/test/img.jpg \
--test-dir path/to/test/dir \
--content-weight 1.5e1 \
--checkpoint-iterations 1000 \
--batch-size 20
### Evaluating Style Transfer Networks
Use `evaluate.py` to evaluate a style transfer network. Run `python evaluate.py` to view all the possible parameters. Evaluation takes 100 ms per frame (when batch size is 1) on a Maxwell Titan X. [More detailed documentation here](docs.md#evaluatepy). Takes several seconds per frame on a CPU. **Models for evaluation are [located here](https://drive.google.com/drive/folders/0B9jhaT37ydSyRk9UX0wwX3BpMzQ?usp=sharing)**. Example usage:
python evaluate.py --checkpoint path/to/style/model.ckpt \
--in-path dir/of/test/imgs/ \
--out-path dir/for/results/
### Stylizing Video
Use `transform_video.py` to transfer style into a video. Run `python transform_video.py` to view all the possible parameters. Requires `ffmpeg`. [More detailed documentation here](docs.md#transform_videopy). Example usage:
python transform_video.py --in-path path/to/input/vid.mp4 \
--checkpoint path/to/style/model.ckpt \
--out-path out/video.mp4 \
--device /gpu:0 \
--batch-size 4
### Requirements
You will need the following to run the above:
- TensorFlow 0.11.0
- Python 2.7.9, Pillow 3.4.2, scipy 0.18.1, numpy 1.11.2
- If you want to train (and don't want to wait for 4 months):
- A decent GPU
- All the required NVIDIA software to run TF on a GPU (cuda, etc)
- ffmpeg 3.1.3 if you want to stylize video
