Face Image Generation and Enhancement Using Conditional Generative Adversarial Network
The accuracy and speed of a single image super-resolution using a convolutional neural network is often a problem in improving finer texture details when using large enhancement factors. Some recent studies have focused on minimal mean square error, resulting in a high peak signal to noise ratio. Generally, although the peak signal to noise ratio has a high value, the output image is less detailed. This shows that the determination of super-resolution is not optimal. Conditional Generative Adversarial Network based on Boundary Equilibrium Generative Adversarial Network, by combining Mean Square Error Loss and GAN Loss as a loss function to optimize the super-resolution model and produce super-resolution images. Also, the generator network is designed with skip connection architecture to increase convergence speed and strengthen feature distribution. Image quality value parameters used in this study are Peak Signal to Noise Ratio (PSNR) and Structural Similarity Index (SSIM). The results showed the highest image quality values using dataset validation were 26.55 for PSNR values and 0.93 for SSIM values. The highest image quality values using the testing dataset are 24.56 for the PSNR value and 0.91 for the SSIM value
Adversarial nets with perceptual losses for text-to-image synthesis
Recent approaches in generative adversarial networks (GANs) can automatically
synthesize realistic images from descriptive text. Despite the overall fair
quality, the generated images often expose visible flaws that lack structural
definition for an object of interest. In this paper, we aim to extend state of
the art for GAN-based text-to-image synthesis by improving perceptual quality
of generated images. Differentiated from previous work, our synthetic image
generator optimizes on perceptual loss functions that measure pixel, feature
activation, and texture differences against a natural image. We present
visually more compelling synthetic images of birds and flowers generated from
text descriptions in comparison to some of the most prominent existing work
