Morph an image to resemble a painting in the style of the great masters

A group of researchers at the University of Tubingen, Germany, have developed an algorithm that can morph an image to resemble a painting in the style of the great masters. Technically called “deep learning” algorithms, they are already in use by companies such as Google for image recognition and other applications.

“The system uses neural representations to separate and recombine content and style of arbitrary images, providing a neural algorithm for the creation of artistic images,” the researchers wrote in their paper. “Here we introduce an artificial system based on a Deep Neural Network that creates artistic images of high perceptual quality.”

A photograph of apartments by a river in Tubingen, Germany was processed to be stylistically similar to various paintings, including J.M. Turner’s “The Wreck of a Transport Ship,” Van Gogh’s “The Starry Night,” and Edvard Munch’s “The Scream.”

ICPRS-2016

20-22 April 2016, Talca, Chile

The International Conference on Pattern Recognition Systems (ICPRS) is a development from the successful Chilean Conference on Pattern
Recognition that reached its 5th edition in 2014. It is organised by the Chilean Association of Pattern Recognition, ACHiRP (affiliated to the IAPR) and is sponsored by the Vision and Imaging Professional Network of the (UK) Institution of Engineering and Technology (IET) who will publish its proceedings (of accepted papers in English where at least one author registers and presents the work at the conference). Papers deemed to be of the required standard and presented at the conference, will be indexed by INSPEC and, through it, IEEE Xplore. All paper submissions will be submitted via Conftool to be peer-reviewed by an international panel of experts. Excellent papers will be invited to submit extended versions for consideration in IET research journals (Computer Vision, Image Processing, Biometrics). For more information see http://www.icprs.org or contact info@icprs.org
