Hands-On Generative Adversarial Networks with Keras

ResNet GAN

In its simplest form, a ResNet network is a network with residual layers. A residual layer is a layer in which the layer input is added to the layer output. This connection from the layer input to the layer output is called a residual connection, as illustrated in the following diagram:

Let's take a look at an implementation of a ResNet GAN that could be used for image denoising, image super resolution, image-to-image translation, audio denoising amongst many other tasks. This ResNet GAN takes in ...
