Hands-On Image Processing and Computer Vision with Python - Second Edition
By :
While cGANs generate images through an adversarial game between a generator and a discriminator, Variational Autoencoders (VAEs) learn a probabilistic latent representation of the data and generate new samples by decoding latent vectors drawn from a learned distribution. A Conditional Variational Autoencoder (CVAE) extends the VAE by incorporating class labels into both the encoder and decoder, enabling controlled image generation. Given a latent variable
, image
, and class label
, a CVAE models the conditional distribution
, allowing images from a desired category to be synthesized by specifying the label
.
Unlike GANs, which may suffer from mode collapse, CVAEs explicitly regularize the latent space to follow a known prior distribution, typically a standard Gaussian. This results in a smooth and interpretable latent manifold that supports interpolation, visualization, and semantic manipulation.
