Ostagram

A sophisticated web application that provides a web interface for neural network-based image processing. This application combines the content of one image with the artistic style of another using convolutional neural networks and the Neural Style Transfer algorithm.

Overview

Ostagram is a web service that implements the artistic style transfer algorithm. It allows users to create artistic images by applying the style of famous paintings or artistic works to their own photographs.
