jute Posted July 13, 2015 Google recently released the source code for Deepdream, its algorithms for recognizing objects in images after it has been "trained" to spot them. In addition to its obvious uses, it can produce surreal results when fed images and asked to "find" things in them. What would Doom look like after all its graphics files were processed through Deepdream? Does anyone with Python experience feel like giving this a try? Example of Deepdream before/after: 0 Share this post Link to post

Gez Posted July 13, 2015 It'd be a good source of surreal hell textures if you could make it look for eyes, skulls, and fangs, instead of eyes, dogs, and pagodas. 0 Share this post Link to post

fabian Posted July 14, 2015 Why does it always find at least one dog in each picture? 0 Share this post Link to post
Jonathan Posted July 14, 2015 fabian said:Why does it always find at least one dog in each picture? AFAIK, dogs are overrepresented in image corpus used to train the neural network. Since the process boils down to repeatedly asking the NN to find features it recognises, then emphasise them, it tends to see more dogs, because that's what it's better at recognising. It's analogous to how humans see faces in everything— clouds, stains, burn marks, architecture, martian landscapes, etc. 0 Share this post Link to post
geo Posted July 14, 2015 Somehow cats aren't represented? Does neural network mean "database of pictures that have one similar characteristic?" Like a sentence that keeps popping up in written documents. 0 Share this post Link to post
Gez Posted July 14, 2015 Yes, they've told different neural networks to recognize different patterns. One that's funny is the dumbbell network, which after looking at thousands of pictures of dumbbells, came to the conclusion that dumbbells often have arms growing out of them. 0 Share this post Link to post

Today's "long time" is Tomorrow's instant :) If you had a second thread doing the processing without blocking the game, and an adaptive update algorithm (rip off MPEG or something), you could splice the post-processed stuff into the frame and just re-start when the view changes, or do it in chunks. You could even farm the second thread out. 0 Share this post Link to post

Though I have seen some cool non-realtime animations from people who automated the process. It would be possible to batch-process all of Doom's graphics for a mod, though. There would probably be a lot of tiling errors but it would be fascinating nonetheless. 0 Share this post Link to post

Panteruh Posted July 14, 2015 I thoroughly believe deep dream is a great way to show anyone who has never tripped what your vision looks like at times... In fact, here is a great video example.. http://devour.com/video/pizza-of-nightmares/ AND If you want to ruin your eyes... go check out the deep dream processed images of porn... my eyes just started to burn... 0 Share this post Link to post
