I mean hire some artists to recreate some photos for you to use. Maybe even scenes from the music video which would probably give you the best results if that's specifically what you're using this for

Oh! I get it. Well I think it would be one of the best option.
Meanwhile, I just figured that I can possibly train a network directly on local area of pixel-art pictures. I gathered in-game screenshots from Bitmap Brothers (Xenon2, Gods, Magic Pockets) and from other games. I will try to apply this to an image and see if it will succeed. I have little hope, but why not?
Anyway, I will let you know about the results  :)

Again, thank you very much for those fast and clear replies.
Great idea about the Commodore and Atari games!
I will also continue to check for the pictures in Jinn's repository.
Indeed, the proposed algorithm will not perform as well as an artist (I'm 100% sure of that) and -as you mentioned- hiring would reaaaally be the best option. However, I'm afraid that it's way to expensive for our  short budget (it's a music video about 3/4 mins long).
But when we will be signed to a big major company we will hire a bunch of artists for sure! I would loved to have a pixel-art music video clip, it's really beautifull :)

Many thanks to both of you for the links.
I started to browsed the associated repositories but could not find usefull samples for the time being, altough having not browsed the whole repository tree (lot of stuff in it!).
I feel that I was way too much consice in my original post. I am looking for original scenes or pictures turned into pixel art (preferably by artists themselves rather than automatic pixeliation  :).
An example lies in this URL:
http://www.shutterstock.com/blog/how-to-turn-any-photograph-into-pixel-art-with-photoshop

And one other requirement for the algorithm to work is that *drumroll* both images have the same resolution. If not it will add some undesired noise to the output.

But again, thank you very much for you links, I will continue to browse the suggested links.

Cheers!

Pixel Art / Pixel Art with supervised learning algorithms
« on: June 02, 2016, 07:54:11 pm »
Dear all,

I am new to this forum and don't know if it's the right place to ask this (right?) question.
I am part of a small and autoproduced electro/rock musical duo and we plan to have a pixel art music video to promote our upcoming album.

We are currently implementing a supervised machine learning algorithm that would 'learn' how to automatically convert movies images to pixel art. We don't know if it is going to run smoothly and we expect a lot of noise on the resulting output. But who knows?
In order to get the algorithm to work we need to have a data sample, ie. real images that have already been converted to pixel art graphics by artists. We need both the real images and the rendered one. I've been heavily browsing the internet lately and could find some samples for our data but I am afraid we would need more than just a few samples to succeed in this direction.

May I ask if someone knows a place where such data exist (original picture + corresponding rendered one?)
I would also be happy to answer any interrogation.
Please be free to ask.

All the bests,

Grass
