1 Motivation
Given a content image and a style image, we want to obtain a synthesised image which matches the content representation of the content image and the style representation of the style image.
2 Method
We compute the correlations between the different filter responses as the style statistics, where the expectation is taken over the spatial extend of the input image. These feature correlations are given by the Gram matrix G ∈ R^{D×D}.
