dkk / dcgan256

A general purpose DCGAN that generates 256 x 256 RGB images. Tested with the 11K hands Dataset

DCGAN256

A DCGAN used to train a hand generator that outputs 256 x 256 RGB images using the 11K hands Dataset.

For more details, see the jupyter notebook.

Environment

The jupyter notebook was implemented to run in Google Colab, but it would be easy to change it to use a local or remote instance instead.

Result

The following GIF shows the output of the model in about the first 1000 epochs:
