Abstract

Generative adversarial network(GAN), as an emerging generative model, has been gradually developed and applied in the fields of image generation, 3D reconstruction, cross-modal conversion, etc. It effectively solves the problem of inefficiency of conventional convolutional neural networks in image-generating tasks and fills the shortage of deep learning in the field of image generation. In order to help subsequent researchers quickly and comprehensively understand GAN, this paper sorted out the improved model of GAN based on the literature in recent years. It firstly introduced the basic principles of GAN from two perspectives of network structure and objective function, then elaborated and summarized various derivative models of GAN from two major perspectives of improvement and application types. Secondly it summarized and analyzed the quality and diversity of generated images from the perspectives of subjective qualitative, objective quantitative and task-specific evaluation. Finally, this paper discussed some core issues and latest research progress of GAN series models in recent years and analyzed the future development trend.
