Photo-Realistic Single Image Super-Resolution Using a Generative Adversarial Network

shreya chawla (~shreya13)


Description:

Super-resolution Generative Adversarial Networks is a type of GAN which can enhance the resolution/quality of images. Enhancing the quality of images has many use-cases like:

  1. To recover old low-resolution images
  2. To automatically enhance the quality of the camera feed in video surveillance, images transferred over the Internet and television broadcasting and many more!

In this talk, I plan to cover the following topics:

  1. A brief introduction to GAN
  2. Introduction to the Super Resolution Problem
  3. Introduction to SRGANs and its architecture
  4. Model training in Keras
  5. Using the trained model to enhance the quality of images
  6. Briefly discuss improvements made by ESRGAN (Enhanced SRGAN)

This talk will provide an introduction to SRGANs and training SRGANs. After the talk, attendees will be able to train their own SRGAN network!

Prerequisites:

  1. Proficiency in the Python programming language
  2. Basics of neural networks
  3. Optional basic understanding of GANs (I will introduce briefly)
  4. Experience working in Keras/Tensorflow 2.0
