# DeepDream Studio

An interactive DeepDream web app: upload a photo and watch a MobileNetV2
image classifier "dream" its learned visual features into it, via iterative
gradient ascent across multiple image scales ("octaves").

Adapted from Chapter 12 of François Chollet's *Deep Learning with Python*
(2nd edition), swapping the book's InceptionV3 backbone for the much
lighter MobileNetV2 so it runs comfortably on Hugging Face Spaces' free CPU
tier.

## Features

- Upload your own photo or start from a curated example
- One-click style presets (Subtle / Classic / Psychedelic)
- An overall intensity slider, plus an advanced panel with per-layer
  feature-emphasis sliders and iteration/octave controls
- Live progress feedback during generation
- Side-by-side original vs. dreamed comparison, with a downloadable result

## Local development

```bash
pip install -r requirements.txt
python app.py
```
