Technical requirements

In this chapter, we’ll employ distinct tools for each section. For the colorization segment, we will work with a program named Style2Paints. Its documentation can be located at https://github.com/lllyasviel/style2paints (licensed under Apache 2.0). To download the program, simply go to https://drive.google.com/open?id=1gmg2wwNIp4qMzxqP12SbcmVAHsLt1iRE. This will download a .zip file onto your computer that needs to be extracted.

Moving to the style transfer segment, we will use a VGG19 model, whose documentation can be found at https://www.tensorflow.org/api_docs/python/tf/keras/applications/vgg19/VGG19. It follows the Keras example available at https://keras.io/examples/generative/neural_style_transfer/.

For the text-to-image segment, we will interact with a Leonardo AI platform for which we only need to create an account. Furthermore, we will interact with the OpenSea platform, which will require us to have an active wallet for minting purposes...
