ProGAN Implementation Overview
ProGAN (Progressive Growing of GANs) is a powerful generative adversarial network architecture that was introduced to improve the quality and resolution of generated images. Below, we provide a summary of the key aspects of ProGAN implementation.
Key Features
- Progressive Growing: ProGAN starts by generating low-resolution images and gradually increases the resolution as training progresses.
- Deep Convolutional Networks: It uses deep convolutional networks in both the generator and discriminator.
- Mini-Batch Discrimination: ProGAN introduces a mini-batch discrimination strategy, which allows the discriminator to be updated with a small set of images, improving the efficiency.
Implementation Steps
- Initialization: Initialize the generator and discriminator networks.
- Training Process:
- Generate a low-resolution image batch.
- Discriminate between real and generated images.
- Update the generator to produce better images.
- Repeat the process, gradually increasing the resolution.
- Finalization: Once the highest resolution is reached, the model is considered finalized.
