Requirements

• Python 2.7
• NumPy
• SciPy
• Pillow
• Caffe
• FFmpeg (Optional, required for videos.)

Installation

1. Install NumPy, SciPy, Pillow and Caffe. NumPy, SciPy & Pillow can be installed via PIP.
2. Download deploy.prototxt from bvlc_googlenet.
3. Add line force_backward: true to deploy.prototxt file.
4. Download bvlc_googlenet.caffemodel from bvlc_googlenet.
5. (Optional) If instead you want to incept using MIT's "Places" neural net, download the Places205-GoogLeNet from their website. You need the deploy_places205.protxt and googlelet_places205_train_iter_2400000.caffemodel files from the archive.
6. Make sure the files are in the root directory of DeepDreamer.

Usage

• Just deep dreaming python deepdreamer.py image.jpg
• Create a deepdream gif python deepdreamer.py --gif true image.jpg
• Create a deepdream video (requires ffmpeg) python deepdreamer.py --video video.mp4
