Full Spectrum Style Transfer Art - Dandelions and Violet flower
I came across a patch of wild flowers, mostly Dandelions but also contained a Violet flower. I was curious how the neural network would differentiate Dandelions and the Violet flower. Seems it had some trouble with that just like with only pictures of Dandelions. The Violet flower got painted the same color as the Dandelions. And the purple violet color got splotched on a few leaves.
These photos are my posts for #trippythursday

Going back to my office I use a technique called neural style transfer to transform my infrared content images into stylized full spectrum photos. Though things do not always go as planned, as the imagenet seems to choose strange ways to stylize.
The algorithm gets alot that we adult humans have learned. But other things we take for granted and machine learning has a long way to go in some cases.

I take pictures with a special camera. Its a Mirrorless DSLR that has been modified by Life Pixel to see light in other wavelengths. This allows my camera to see light in the Infrared [IR] around 1300 NM wavelength, through the visual spectrum and into the Ultraviolet A and B wavelengths roughly into the 300 NM wavelength.
I carry many filters on me to make the photos you see in my blog, these filters screw on my lens and help me isolate certain wavelengths for certain scenes. These filters can be IR / UV pass-through filters to assist me get a natural photo taking out the UV and IR light. Or I may use a Infrared pass-through filter capture just IR light. I can do the same with UV light as well, though I need some better filters which they can cost a few hundred dollars for true Ultraviolet pass through filters. So for right now I have B + W 403 bandpass filters that still allow some IR light in, due to their cheaper material.
There are also exotic glasses made of sapphire and germanium I am open to working with to replace my silica glass hot mirror with a material that allows even longer wavelengths of infrared to enter my cameras sensor. Special sensors, lenses and filters of that material would be needed as well, so it would be a big project but one that may give some even more unique photography results.
Addresses below to help me buy better camera equipment and support me to travel to locations to do photo and video and overall great blogs in new places. I would be happy to list some of the contributors in my posts for donations that help me along the way.

Flowa powa! heheh
@blacklux hah that yellow and green really mixed.
