Implement various state-of-the-art architectures, such as GANs and autoencoders, for image generation using TensorFlow 2.x from scratch
Key Features
Understand the different architectures for image generation, including autoencoders and GANs Build models that can edit an image of your face, turn photos into paintings, and generate photorealistic images Discover how you can build deep neural networks with advanced TensorFlow 2.x features
Book DescriptionThe emerging field of Generative Adversarial Networks (GANs) has made it possible to generate indistinguishable images from existing datasets. With this hands-on book, you’ll not only develop image generation skills but also gain a solid understanding of the underlying principles.
Starting with an introduction to the fundamentals of image generation using TensorFlow, this book covers Variational Autoencoders (VAEs) and GANs. You’ll discover how to build models for different applications as you get to grips with performing face swaps using deepfakes, neural style transfer, image-to-image translation, turning simple images into photorealistic images, and much more. You’ll also understand how and why to construct state-of-the-art deep neural networks using advanced techniques such as spectral normalization and self-attention layer before working with advanced models for face generation and editing. You’ll also be introduced to photo restoration, text-to-image synthesis, video retargeting, and neural rendering. Throughout the book, you’ll learn to implement models from scratch in TensorFlow 2.x, including PixelCNN, VAE, DCGAN, WGAN, pix2pix, CycleGAN, StyleGAN, GauGAN, and BigGAN.
By the end of this book, you’ll be well versed in TensorFlow and be able to implement image generative technologies confidently.
