Generative Adversarial Networks Cookbook

Overview of this book

Developing Generative Adversarial Networks (GANs) is a complex task, and it is often hard to find code that is easy to understand. This book leads you through eight different examples of modern GAN implementations, including CycleGAN, simGAN, DCGAN, and 2D image to 3D model generation. Each chapter contains useful recipes to build on a common architecture in Python, TensorFlow and Keras to explore increasingly difficult GAN architectures in an easy-to-read format. The book starts by covering the different types of GAN architecture to help you understand how the model works. This book also contains intuitive recipes to help you work with use cases involving DCGAN, Pix2Pix, and so on. To understand these complex applications, you will take different real-world data sets and put them to use. By the end of this book, you will be equipped to deal with the challenges and issues that you may face while working with GAN models, thanks to easy-to-follow code solutions that you can implement right away.

Parsing the data – is our data unique?


Data is the lifeblood of these algorithms. If you take nothing else away from this book, please learn this lesson. In this recipe, we'll read each of the files in an array, resize them for learning, and save them into an easy-to-access compressed format.

 

 

Getting ready

First, let's perform a sanity check on our directory structure to make sure that we have all the right pieces; it should look as follows:

DCGAN
├── data
│   └── README.md
├── docker
│   ├── build.sh
│   ├── clean.sh
│   └── Dockerfile
├── README.md
├── scripts
│   └── create_data.sh
└── src
    ├── save_to_npy.py

You should notice the new folder, src, along with a new file, save_to_npy.py. The following recipe will focus on this Python file and how to run it to save data.

How to do it...

  1. First, create the save_to_npy.py file and add the following lines to import the necessary dependencies and point to the python3 interpreter:
#!/usr/bin/env python3
from PIL import Image
import numpy as np
import...
