Abstract

Image synthesis is the generation of realistic images using a computer algorithm. This can be difficult and time-consuming. Image synthesis using machine learning aims to make this process easier and more accessible. The most prominent machine learning model for generating content is known as generative adversarial networks. This paper reviews and evaluates various generative model based on GANs. These various models are evaluated using inception score and Fréchet inception distance. These are common metrics for the evaluation of generative adversarial networks.
