Neural technology, while not explicitly described in the video, refers to the use of computer systems or algorithms modeled after the human brain's neural networks. It is a complex field that involves machine learning and artificial intelligence. The Deep Dream Generator uses neural technology to analyze and transform images, as mentioned by the presenter, although the specifics are not detailed to avoid overwhelming the audience.

💡Deep Style

Deep Style is a feature within the Deep Dream Generator that allows users to apply a specific style to an image. This style is typically derived from another image and is used to 'paint' over the chosen image, creating a new piece that combines the original subject with the style's aesthetic. In the video, the presenter chooses a comic book page as the style to apply to the beach girl image.

💡Image Upload

Image upload is the process of transferring an image file from a local device to a web-based platform. In the context of the video, the presenter instructs viewers on how to upload an image to the Deep Dream Generator, which is the first step in creating a stylized image using the tool.

Style selection is the process of choosing a specific style or pattern that will be applied to an image using the Deep Dream Generator. The presenter demonstrates this by selecting a comic book page as the style for their image, which influences the final output's appearance.

💡Resolution Settings

Resolution settings refer to the options available for adjusting the quality and size of an image. In the video, the presenter discusses changing the resolution from 'normal' to 'medium' within the Deep Dream Generator's settings, which affects the final image's clarity and file size.

💡Original Image

The original image is the initial photograph or artwork that a user starts with before applying any transformations or styles. The video script contrasts the original image of a beach scene with the final, stylized image created using the Deep Dream Generator to highlight the tool's capabilities.

💡Gallery

A gallery in this context refers to a collection of images that have been created and shared by users of the Deep Dream Generator. The presenter mentions a public gallery where viewers can see examples of what can be achieved with the tool, and also discusses the option to make one's own creations public to share in the gallery.

💡Downloading Image

Downloading an image is the process of saving a file from a web-based platform to a local device. After the Deep Dream Generator has processed the image, the presenter explains how to download the newly created image, which is the final step in using the tool.
