GANs are effective at generating crisp synthetic images, but are limited in size to about 64 × 64 pixels. A Progressive Growing GAN is an extension of the GAN that enables training generator models to generate large high-quality images up to about 1024 × 1024 pixels (as of this writing). The approach has proven effective at generating high-quality synthetic faces that are startlingly realistic.

The key innovation of Progressive Growing GANs is the incremental increase ...
