High-quality face image generation based on generative adversarial networks

Abstract Conventional face image generation using generative adversarial networks (GAN) is limited by the quality of generated images since generator and discriminator use the same backpropagation network. In this paper, we discuss algorithms that can improve the quality of generated images, that is, high-quality face image generation. In order to achieve stability of network, we replace MLP with convolutional neural network (CNN) and remove pooling layers. We conduct comprehensive experiments on LFW, CelebA datasets and experimental results show the effectiveness of our proposed method.
