My prior video showed what the image converged to if the dreamer was allowed to iterate continuously over it. This one shows what happens if we zoom in slightly each frame (it's about 1 pixel per frame from eyeballing it). You could call it "They're watching you."

The animation is based on the steps in this reddit thread: https://www.reddit.com/r/deepdream/comments/3dqev6/tutorial_create_zoomintoimages_videos/

I tuned the parameters in that post's videoify.py script to minimize the disruption between any two frames (low iterations of the dreamer plus only a slight zoom). The changes:

def deepdream(net, base_img, iter_n=10, octave_n=4, octave_scale=1.4, end='inception_4c/output', clip=True, **step_params):

became

def deepdream(net, base_img, iter_n=2, octave_n=4, octave_scale=1.4, end='inception_4c/output', clip=True, **step_params):

And...

s = 0.05 # scale coefficient

became

s = 0.001 # scale coefficient
