Artist got automated

Here is my first Tensorflow run to convert images to different styles of famous painters

I am using the code that is available at https://github.com/lengstrom/fast-style-transfer

It uses specific versions of below libraries

!apt install ffmpeg
!pip install tensorflow==0.12.1
!pip install numpy==1.11.2
!pip install scipy==0.18.1
!pip install pillow==3.4.2

I started with latest version and that triggered failure after failure.

If you are like me, add below changes to their respective files

#This is to make tensorflow behave as if it is in v1
File : evaluate.py and ./src/transform.py
import tensorflow.compat.v1 as tf
tf.disable_v2_behavior()

#Image functions are removed from scipy.misc module. so use imageio instead
import imageio
scipy.misc.imsave(out_path, img) --> imageio.imwrite(out_path, img)
img = scipy.misc.imread(src, mode='RGB') --> img = imageio.imread(src, pilmode='RGB')

Refer this post on more details on imageio changes

Here is the original image and after style changes
