StackGAN

Now we will see one of the most intriguing and fascinating types of GAN, which is called a StackGAN. Can you believe if I say StackGANs can generate photo-realistic images just based on the textual descriptions? Well, yes. They can do that. Given a text description, they can generate a realistic image.

Let's first understand how an artist draws an image. In the first stage, artists draw primitive shapes and create a basic outline that forms an initial version of the image. In the next stage, they enhance the image by making it more realistic and appealing.

StackGANs works in a similar manner. They divide the process of generating images into two stages. Just like artists draw pictures, in the first stage, they generate a basic outline, ...
