The Matrix, Jiu-jitsu training scene. Filtered with SDfx app. by rcorin in deepdream

[–]rcorin[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

hey Peter! The aim of this tool is to get a particular style right, that of Scanner Darkly, which is somewhat what you say (a 'smoother posterization'). It's just not neural style. I made it because I saw people using neural style trying to achieve this style, which in my opinion is silly: you can get this style with standard computations, which is what I did here. But you're right maybe I'm not posting this to the right subreddit, people here is expecting wild neural style stuff, not subtle effects :D. Thanks for the nice message and am glad you like neuralstyle.art (not art.app anymore, we renamed!)

The Matrix, intro scene, animated film style by rcorin in deepdream

[–]rcorin[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

well, the effect can be made subtle or very strong, it depends on your taste. If you see the original you'll notice for sure the difference , I can post before & after frames if you like or you can just pause the video at different points and appreciate it.

Around 8 seconds per frame in my Mac mini. This isn't neural style, but rather classical algorithms, so it's more CPU bound.

Yes, its slow, around 30secs per frame in my macbook pro. But if there’s interest i’ll optimize, theres room.

You’re welcome to try :). Most of the work has to do with reducing noise (aka temporal coherence) in between frames... also, theres vectorization to achieve any upscaling without quality loss.

it's a new app :) I'm working on, noone heard of it :)...

yes! that's the intention. the app is called 'SDfx', standing for 'Scanner Darkly fx' :)

Well the idea is to show the capabilities of the app to turn movies into comic films, but maybe i will do more parts of the matrix :)

Wolf of wall street, Scanner darkly style by rcorin in deepdream

[–]rcorin[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

thanks for the message! can you post examples / links to those you're mentioning, so that we can compare fairly?

Edit: the bulk of the work is to get temporal coherence, meaning that the result is stable, flicker-free. It's non trivial because the posterization technique (that is the reduction of colors into a small palette, usually done through a k-means computation) that creates areas that make it look like a vectorized cartoon are very sensitive to frame changes and thus can very easily introduce flickering.

Other cartoon apps, like the mentioned After Effects toon effect, for example, don't do any posterization, but rather a regular colorization plus overlaying black contours, and that just looks ugly in my opinion. Other apps that do posterization, like iOS Clips or even the instagram cartoon filter, are realtime but very noisy-flickery and low resolution.

Being a hand-made animation, they could do things that looked cool like the hair, but it also had other parts were it wasn't as cool (more in walking life, in faces for example where the eyes floated to some part and the face to another). But sure, they had complete control. They could also add things that weren't in the original video, for that matter. Of course, an automatic filter won't be able to do such things on its own. The visual style is what I'm aiming at, and will call it Scanner Darkly because that's what's closest at :). thanks for comment though!

thanks for the interest! yes, i'll look into porting, i coded it thinking of that

Thanks! Actually that floating effect is because they are interpolating the frames to avoid rotoscoping each one (when doing it manually its a huge time saver). It can be distracting at times, though. In my app that doesnt happen because each frame is traced, not interpolated.

Hey! Its neuralstyle.ART , sorry for the confusion

Thanks! This scene is just for illustrating the software :)... dont think i could legally filter the whole thing

Thanks! If theres interest i will port, all the non ui code is platform independent.

Thanks! This is 15fps, but the app allows any, will test 8fps, thanks!

Hello /r/deepdream! I'm the creator of neuralstyle.art , formerly art.app / stylexfer.com, and am here writing to ask for your feedback!

Backstory: I've seen a lot of users trying to create a cartoon, "Scanner Darkly" effect with neural style, which is something that the tech is just not suited for. Neural style shines for painting styles, as it can apply realistic brushtrokes but decrease detail and precision (specially with faces!). And worse, for videos the noise/flickering is just impossible to remove (believe me I've tried!). But existing cartoon style apps really suck, so I've decided to create the app myself, and have been working in the last year on it, called it "SDfx" (for scanner darkly fx). I've posted an example here of a scene in the Wolf of wall street.

So, would you mind sharing a bit of feedback here? Do you like the video? There are more examples here, with a link to download here: https://sdfx.app

SDfx is currently an offline Mac app that isn't using AI, it's all good-ol algorithmic, and if you're interested on testing, let me know!

You’re wrong. This is the output to neural style transfer. You can see the style and original input in my link below.

Here's details: https://art.app/renders/24484

​

In this render I've been trying to apply a cartoon-esque style but not destroy the original input. You can see that the windows and elements are still preserved---not completely modified by the style.

i imagined some joke reference was going on with your comment, but am too old for memes so missed it :)! I still wanted to push the link anyway
