Generative Adversarial Networks Projects

By: Kailash Ahirwar

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.

Introducing SRGANs

Like any other GAN, SRGANs contain a generator network and a discriminator network. Both networks are deep. The functionality of both of these networks is specified as follows:

  • The generator: The generator network takes a low-resolution image of a dimension of 64x64x3, and, after a series of convolution and upsampling layers, generates a super-resolution image of a shape of 256x256x3
  • The discriminator: The discriminator network takes a high-resolution image and tries to identify whether the given image is real (from the real data samples) or fake (generated by the generator)

The architecture of SRGANs

In SRGANs, both of the networks are deep convolution neural networks. They contain convolution layers...
