Style Transfer - Styling Images with Convolutional Neural Networks

In this project, we are going to use a pre-trained VGG16 model which looks as follows. Keep in mind that we are not going to use fully connected (blue) and softmax layers (yellow). They act as a classifier which we don't need here. We are going to use only feature extractors i.e convolutional (black) and max pooling (red) layers. Let's take a look at how specific features look at the selected VGG16 layers trained on ImageNet dataset. We are not going to visualize every CNN layer here but according to Johnson et al. for a content layer we should select While this combination is proved to be working I recommend you to play with it and experiment with different layers.
