A Deep Dive into Latent Space: Image Generation and Manipulation with StyleGAN2
Part 1 | Part 2
This tutorial introduces the concept of latent spaces in deep generative models, specifically StyleGAN2, and the possibilities of image generation and manipulation they provide. Focusing on a model trained on photographs of human faces, we will demonstrate how to localise the latent representation of a given image (e.g. a participant’s own face) in order to blend it with another and how to create an animation of the interpolation between the two.
