Keywords

💡Deep Dream Generator

Deep Dream Generator is an artificial intelligence tool that uses a convolutional neural network to find and enhance patterns in images, creating a dream-like effect. In the video, the tool is used to generate images based on text prompts and base images provided by the user, allowing for creative exploration and manipulation of visual content.

💡Compute Energy

Compute Energy refers to the computational resources required to run the Deep Dream Generator. It is a measure of the processing power needed to create or modify images. In the context of the video, the user's account shows the current compute energy available for generating images.

💡Text Prompt

A text prompt is a descriptive input provided by the user to guide the Deep Dream Generator in creating an image. It consists of words and phrases that describe the desired visual elements, theme, or subject of the generated image.

💡Base Image

A base image is the starting point or reference image that the Deep Dream Generator uses to create or modify the final output. Users can either select from a provided library or upload their own images to serve as the foundation for the generation process.

💡Model

In the context of the Deep Dream Generator, a model refers to the specific neural network architecture employed to process the image generation or modification. Different models may produce varying results based on their training data and intended use.
