StackGAN – text-to-photo image synthesis

One of the earlier applications of GANs to domain-transfer is the generation of images based on text. Stacked GAN, shorted to StackGAN, uses a sentence as input and generates multiple images that match the description.

The architecture operates in two stages: the first stage yields a low-resolution sketch of shape and colors, and the second stage enhances the result to a high-resolution image with photo-realistic details.
