Deep Learning for AI assisted art generation

One franchise built around pixel art...
Pokémon Red (released 1998)
Using Pokémon as a training set
● 64 x 64 x 3 pixels = 12,228 features per image ● 700+ Unique Pokémon ● 76,000+ animation frames
Feature engineering with images
● database used for eliminating shape outliers
● 231 Pokémon selected (19,231 frames)
● Expansion of training set size:
○ Brightness○ Hue○ Contrast○ Left-right transformations.
