How to Develop a Pix2Pix GAN for Image-to-Image Translation

The Pix2Pix Generative Adversarial Network, or GAN, is an approach to training a deep convolutional neural network for image-to-image translation tasks. The careful configuration of architecture as a type of image-conditional GAN allows for both the generation of large images compared to prior GAN models (e.g. In this tutorial, you will discover how to develop a Pix2Pix generative adversarial network for image-to-image translation.

Pix2Pix is a Generative Adversarial Network, or GAN, model designed for general purpose image-to-image translation. The approach was presented by Phillip Isola, et al. in their 2016 paper titled "Image-to-Image Translation with Conditional Adversarial Networks" and presented at CVPR in 2017. The GAN architecture is comprised of a generator model for outputting new plausible synthetic images, and a discriminator model that classifies images as real (from the dataset) or fake (generated). The discriminator model is updated directly, whereas the generator model is updated via the discriminator model.
