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.

Code implementation – generator


The generator represents the part of the network that will generate new images based on the input sample given to it. In our case, we'll be giving input from an encoded version of an image and it will produce a 16 x 16 x 16 x 3 representation of an object (height by width by length with a color).

Getting ready

We've built out the docker folder and the encoding code and now we're moving to create the generator. In the src folder, create a file called generator.py and make sure you have the same files and folders in your directory:

├── data
├── docker
│   ├── build.sh
│   ├── clean.sh
│   ├── Dockerfile
│   └── kaggle.json
├── out
├── README.md
├── run_autoencoder.sh
└── src
    ├── encoder_model.h5
    ├── encoder.py
    ├── generator.py
    ├── x_test_encoded.npy
    └── x_train_encoded.npy

How to do it...

There are three basic pieces to creating the generator class—the preparation, the model, and the helper functions. We'll cover each in detail throughout this...
