P.S. If anyone gets the "DeepStyle" software running locally I'd love to send a few image pairs through it. I have some things I want to test.
-JavaJones (October 02, 2015, 05:33 PM)

For those interested in DeepDream, there's a downloadable VirtualBox VM available with it already installed, Ubuntu + Google's DeepDream.

Dodger Tools (5th image down the list) - 1.6GB

EDIT: The VM is set to German language, you can set it to English by opening a Term, editing /etc/default/locale, and then rebooting.

I'm currently installing Debian 8.1 to a VM to play with DeepStyle.

I've just about finished getting DeepStyle running on my Linux Mint VM.

(And when I say that, I mean I'm on the last step that says "Make a cup of coffee or something, this will take a while... That’ll start a long, elaborate download process.")

@JavaJones, if you want to post some pictures in this thread, I'd be happy to try them out once it's done getting set up, if 4wd doesn't get to them first.

I gave up, Debian 8.1 in a VM didn't want to work so then I swapped to a VPS running Ubuntu 14.04 and while the whole installation took less than 10 minutes, the process was killed when it came to generating images due to the following:

I'm making a test image right now. I got a similar warning when I started it, but it got farther than yours did, and seems to still be going.

Well, it ran for a while and then died.

I had the exact same problem, I swapped over to a VPS (running Debian 7) with twice the RAM/VSWAP and it got as far you did above.

I think it's going to take a machine with a fair bit of RAM, (eg. 16GB), before it'll do something useful.

The style image I was using is only 190x266 (12.5kB) and the picture is 160x107 (11.1kB) and it still bombs out.

I tried for hours and hours to set up a virtual box and get it to run python, using some directions found at
https://www.reddit.com/r/deepdream/
Very frustrating. I'm not a programmer, much less a python programmer. And I'm not familiar with Linux or virtual boxes. So when things kept going wrong, my only hope was to do google searches and hope that someone else had already solved the exact same problem. I did manage to get in to BIOS and activate virtualization--which was pretty good for a layman like myself. I sortof got the virtual box running, but never did get the whole thing working.

I just realized that tsaint already posted about DeepStyle in this very thread a couple weeks ago and already said he got it working:

This , on a similar tack, might be worth a look
I had to install Ubuntu and a few other bits and pieces and I nearly (!) got it to work. Someone more tech-savvy than me probably could with probably good results.

He says "nearly", unfortunately. I wish we had @mentions. Tsaint, did you ever get this fully working? Anyone else? I continue to be very intrigued and occasionally very impressed with the results!

JavaJones · « **Reply #34 on:** October 03, 2015, 06:55 PM »

And then... some crazy bastard *animated* it!

The video description includes links to instructions for getting it up and running easily with a prebuilt Amazon EC2 instance, which I just might try.

Lots more interesting examples here:

Deozaan · « **Reply #35 on:** October 03, 2015, 10:01 PM »

I increased the available RAM for my VM to 8GB and it seems to be nearly (!) working now. I just ran another test and got permission issues when saving the output file. I'm not sure which permissions I should be granting myself (or why I don't have permission to write files into my own Home directory) but I just tried some things and am running another test. I think once I get the permissions issue(s) figured out, I'll be good to go with my own DeepStyle generator.

Deozaan · « **Reply #36 on:** October 04, 2015, 01:30 AM »

It worked!

I used a 3264x1840 content image and a 1920x1200 style image and the output is mysteriously only 512x288. Weird. I was hoping for something I could use as a wallpaper.

Anyway, here are the inputs and the output:

Content image is a photo that my parents took of the Grand Canyon:

Request: Deepdream frontend.

Style image is one of my many Vlad Studio wallpapers:

vladstudio_a_girl_under_a_thousand_blankets_1920x1200.jpg

Request: Deepdream frontend.

And the output:

Request: Deepdream frontend.

It actually output 10 different images. I'm not sure what they are. But it seems to be progressively refined until it gets to the final output image. The last few are almost indistinguishable from the final image. Here are some of the other images it output while building the final image:

EDIT: I looked at the readme.md and found another parameter I need to pass in to increase the image size. -image_size [width-size]. I suspect that going larger than the default 512 will result in more memory-related failures though. . .

EDIT 2: Yup. I tried 1920 and it gave me that "Killed" error. I tried it again at 1024 and it said something about running out of memory. Too bad... Maybe it would work better on real hardware. It'd be nice to dedicate my entire 16GB RAM to it. I wonder if it would work setting it all up from a LiveCD boot. . .

Deozaan · « **Reply #37 on:** October 04, 2015, 10:52 AM »

I made another one with the same content image and a different source image:

Output:

And here are some of the images leading up to the final image:

maybe you can post a little tutorial on how you got it all running..

-mouser (October 04, 2015, 10:53 AM)

I pretty much just followed the tutorial, with a few slight changes where it didn't go into detail or was wrong (such as it forgetting to tell you to go into the DeepStyle\neural-style directory before typing in a command, or what permissions to give yourself). Then I cranked up the RAM of the VM to 8GB. I heard from someone else that it will work with slightly less RAM.

It takes a long time. I'm not sure exactly how long because I don't babysit it. I just finished another one while typing this up, and it took a little over 2 hours. But maybe that's dependent on the source & style images.

Someone please give me more interesting images to try out on this thing.

Here's my latest result. Same Grand Canyon Image, but this time in the style of a Legend of Zelda wallpaper:

Zelda Link Between Worlds - Reflection - 1920x1080.jpg

I want to try this on some images for a private project, but I'm afraid you probably won't find them interesting at all.

I keep trying to get an instance going at Terminal.com, but it says no GPU instances available constantly.

If you want to keep the images private, then PM me a link to a couple images (both source and style) and I'll do it even if I don't find them interesting.

Yea this one is pretty cool. There have been a few free sites that have popped up. Unfortunately none offer HD output. This one is cool though, because you can input your own styles...
