StyleGAN is a cutting-edge Generative Adversarial Network (GAN) variant renowned for its ability to generate high-resolution, realistic images with an unprecedented level of control and customization.
At its core, StyleGAN operates by separating the generation process into two crucial components: the style and the structure.
Style Mapping: StyleGAN starts by mapping a latent vector (essentially a set of random numbers) into a style space. This style space controls various high-level features of the generated image, such as the pose, facial expression, and overall aesthetics. This separation of style from structure allows for precise control over these attributes.
Synthesis Network: The second part involves a synthesis network that generates the image structure based on the learned style. This network uses convolutional layers to create the image pixel by pixel, guided by the style information. This separation of style and structure allows for incredible flexibility and customization.
