This program is to make a video based on Deep Dream. The program is modified from DeepDreamAnim and DeepDreamVideo with additional functions for bleding two frames based on the optical flows. It also supports the image division to apply the Deep Dream algorithm to a large image.
The flow option enables the optical flow mode. This allows the optical flow of each frame to be calculated by comparing the difference in the movement of all pixels between the current and previous frame. The hallucinatory patterns on the area where the optical flow was detected is merged with the current (not-yet-hallucinatory) frame based on the weighting provided by the user defined blending ratio (0 = no information, 1 = all information). The blending ratio allows some of the hallucinatory content of the previous frame to be inherited from the previous frame, The Deep Dream algorithm is then applied to this merged frame, instead of Deep Dream starting from scratch for each frame.
- The difference in optical flow is calculated between the previous and current frame (before the Deep Dream algorithm is applied).
- The hallucinatory patterns within the area of high optical flow in the previous frame are shifted in the direction of the optical flow.
- This hallucinatory pattern from the previous frame is merged into the current (not-yet-hallucinatory) frame with a specfied blending ratio.
The blending ratio on the optical flow area and the other areas (background) can be specified separately by using -bm and -bs options. The range of the blending ratio is between 0 and 1. A blending ratio of 1 means that the current frame inherits 100% of the hallucinatory content from the previous frame, and then the deep dream algorithm is applied. A blending ratio of 0 means the previous frame is dicarded, therefore the deep dream algorithm is applied from the scrach.
When using a GPU to process the deep dream algorithm, the maximum image size is capped by the video memory of your GPU. In order to process large images such as 4K resolution, it is neccersary to divide the input image into smaller sub-images inorder to apply Deep Dream. -d or --divide option can be used to enable this function.
-d 0 : disable image division
-d 1 : divide the image by MAX_WIDTH and MAX_HEIGHT of image specified by -mw and -mh options
-d 2 : divide the image half when the width of the image is larger than MAX_WIDTH specified by -mw option
The divided image is processed by Deep Dream individually and then merged into one. If using octavescale in the original deep dream algorithm, the image is processed in a smaller size in the begining. In that case, the image division will not be applied to the earlier stage of the itterations (before enlarging the original size).
