Demo: Artistic style transfer for video

Check out this amazing hotness from Manuel Ruder, Alexey Dosovitskiy and Thomas Brox:

 

The creators write,

In the past, manually re-drawing an image in a certain artistic style required a professional artist and a long time. Doing this for a video sequence single-handed was beyond imagination. Nowadays computers provide new possibilities. We present an approach that transfers the style from one image (for example, a painting) to a whole video sequence.

So, when can regular users get access to this stuff? Seems like it’ll be a while yet: The algorithm takes 3 minutes per frame to run (i.e. an hour and a half per second of video!)—but that’s down from other recent techniques that required 2 hours per frame.
