Viewing the original images

Next, we use calls to the two preceding functions to display our content and style images, remembering that the image pixels need to be of type unsigned 8-bit integer. The plt.subplot(1,2,1) function means use a grid of one row and two columns at position one; plt.subplot(1,2,2) means use a grid of one row and two columns at position two:

channel_means = [103.939, 116.779, 123.68] # means of the BGR channels, for VGG processing

plt.figure(figsize=(10,10))

content_image = load_image(content_path).astype('uint8')
style_image = load_image(style_path).astype('uint8')

plt.subplot(1, 2, 1)
show_image(content_image, 'Content Image')

plt.subplot(1, 2, 2)
show_image(style_image, 'Style Image')

plt.show()

The output is shown in the following screenshot:

There follows a function to load the image. As we are going to use this, as...
