Neural style transfer (NST) is a computer vision technique that takes two images – a content image and a style reference image – and blends them together so that the resulting output image retains the core elements of the content image but appears to be painted in the style of the style reference image. The output image from a NST network is called a pastiche. A pastiche is a work of visual art, literature, theater or music that imitates the style (or character) of the work of one or more other artists. Unlike a parody, a pastiche celebrates rather than mocks the work it imitates.
