Lovely Logic's Ultraviolet Glow

avatar

There is a field that was once a house lot, but the home was torn down from fire damage. All there is left is an old shed and a bunch of large trees on the property. We visit this place to take pictures during the spring and summer. @activate.alpha posed under a tree and I used my modified Lumix GH3 and used an ultraviolet bandpass filter. It was a cool photo but I knew my style transfer tools could transform it into something like art.

I took one of my ultraviolet photos and stylized it using a technique called "Style Transfer". Basically I use a computer algorithm to take creative elements from a certain artist and imprint it on a picture I took. So once real photos are now turned into art by my graphics card and the use of a neural network trained to recognize shapes, lines and objects.

An Italian architect, engineer, painter, sculptor, and writer named Francesco di Giorgio Martini was used as the art style source and is linked below for reference. The art piece used for the style is named Annunciation, highly unusual painting was the last of the artist's youthful output. The playful gestures of the two characters are emphasized by the abundant folds of the drapery. On the other hand, the perspective of the scene is expressively deformed in order to create a dramatic touch.

Included above is a link to the software I use to turn my real life photos into artwork. I try out dozens of artists style before I find a good type that mixes with my content of my photos. Neural style transfer is an optimization technique used to take 2 images, a content image and a style reference image such as artwork from a painter and blend them together so the output image looks like the content image, but painted in the style of the style reference image.

This is implemented by optimizing the output image to match the content details of the content image and the style details of the style referenced image. These details are extracted from the images using a convolutional network.
