Implement a function to compute the Gram matrix for neural style transfer, which is a crucial component in capturing the style of an image. This task involves understanding how to represent the style of an image using feature maps extracted from a Convolutional Neural Network (CNN).
The Gram matrix is used to capture the style by computing correlations between feature maps, where the feature map F is a 3D tensor with shape (C,H×W), representing the output of a CNN layer with C channels, height H, and width W. The Gram matrix G is a 2D tensor that represents the correlations between these feature maps.
Here are the steps to compute the Gram matrix:
The style loss Lstyle is then computed as the squared difference between the Gram matrix of the content image and the Gram matrix of the style image: Lstyle=∥Gcontent−Gstyle∥2.
This technique is widely used in image generation and editing tasks.
