Artificial Intelligence Image Edition was originally developed by Google engineer Alex Mordvintsev, calling it Deep Dream. It is an algorythm used as a computer program which uses a neural network to find and enhance certain patterns in images.
Pareidolia Tendency
Humans have a tendency to see, or perceive, different objects or patterns in different situations, such as seeing shapes in clouds or faces abstract images. That´s Pareidolia. AIIE tries to match the same creating these patterns using a convolutional neural network
How convolutional neural network works
Feeding an image to detect the first layers, usually edges.
Second step detecting higher level features, like faces.
Assemble these features into a complete new interpretation generating a unique new version of the image
Procedural Textures
A procedural texture is a texture created using a mathematical algorithm instead of stored information, approaching low storage costs, simple texture mapping with almost unlimited resolution with a natural look of the rendered graphic.
