Generative Adversarial Networks Projects

Overview of this book

Generative Adversarial Networks (GANs) have the potential to build next-generation models, as they can mimic any distribution of data. Major research and development work is being undertaken in this field since it is one of the rapidly growing areas of machine learning. This book will test unsupervised techniques for training neural networks as you build seven end-to-end projects in the GAN domain. Generative Adversarial Network Projects begins by covering the concepts, tools, and libraries that you will use to build efficient projects. You will also use a variety of datasets for the different projects covered in the book. The level of complexity of the operations required increases with every chapter, helping you get to grips with using GANs. You will cover popular approaches such as 3D-GAN, DCGAN, StackGAN, and CycleGAN, and you’ll gain an understanding of the architecture and functioning of generative models through their practical implementation. By the end of this book, you will be ready to build, train, and optimize your own end-to-end GAN models at work or in your own projects.

Conditional GAN - Image-to-Image Translation Using Conditional Adversarial Networks

Pix2pix is a type of Generative Adversarial Network (GAN) that is used for image-to-image translation. Image-to-image translation is a method for translating one representation of an image into another representation. Pix2pix learns a mapping from input images into output images. It can be used to convert black and white images to color images, sketches to photographs, day images to night images, and satellite images to map images. The pix2pix network was first introduced in the paper titled Image-to-Image Translation with Conditional Adversarial Networks, by Phillip Isola, Jun-Yan Zhu, Tinghui Zhou, Alexei A. Efros; which can be found at the following link: https://arxiv.org/pdf/1611.07004.pdf.

In this chapter, we will cover the following topics:

  • Introducing the Pix2pix network
  • The architecture...
