Generative Adversarial Networks (GANs) are revolutionizing in computer vision. By pitting two neural networks against each other, GANs create realistic images from random noise, enabling applications like image enhancement and style transfer.
GANs consist of a and network, trained through an adversarial process. The generator aims to create convincing fake images, while the discriminator tries to distinguish real from fake. This competition drives both networks to improve, resulting in high-quality synthetic images.

Two-network structure comprises a generator and a discriminator
Generator network transforms random noise into synthetic images
Discriminator network distinguishes between real and generated images
Networks are typically implemented as deep convolutional neural networks (DCNNs)
process improves both networks iteratively
Generator vs discriminator
Generator aims to create increasingly realistic images to fool the discriminator
Discriminator acts as a binary classifier, predicting whether an image is real or fake
Generator learns to map from latent space to image space
Discriminator improves its ability to detect subtle differences between real and generated images
Balance between generator and discriminator crucial for successful training
Adversarial training process
Alternating training steps between generator and discriminator
Generator minimizes the probability of the discriminator correctly classifying generated images
Discriminator maximizes its ability to distinguish between real and fake images
Backpropagation updates network parameters based on the adversarial loss
Nash equilibrium reached when generator produces indistinguishable fake images
GAN loss functions
Loss functions guide the optimization process in GANs, influencing the quality and stability of generated images
Different loss functions address various challenges in GAN training, such as and
Choosing the appropriate depends on the specific GAN architecture and application in computer vision tasks
Minimax loss
Original loss function proposed in the GAN paper by Goodfellow et al.
Formulated as a two-player minimax game between generator and discriminator
Generator minimizes log(1−D(G(z))) while discriminator maximizes log(D(x))+log(1−D(G(z)))
Can lead to vanishing gradients for the generator when discriminator becomes too strong
Often replaced by the non-saturating loss in practice to mitigate
Wasserstein loss
Addresses limitations of the original GAN loss by using Wasserstein distance
Improves stability and reduces mode collapse in GAN training
Requires enforcement of 1-Lipschitz constraint on the discriminator (critic)
Loss function for generator: −E[D(G(z))], for discriminator: E[D(G(z))]−E[D(x)]
Gradient penalty or weight clipping used to satisfy Lipschitz constraint
Least squares loss
Proposed to overcome vanishing gradients problem in original GAN loss
Replaces log loss with L2 loss for both generator and discriminator
