Baomin Shao, Qiuling Li, Xue Jiang . A Survey of DCGAN based Unsupervised Decoding and Image Generation. International Journal of Computer Applications. 178, 23 ( Jun 2019), 45-49. DOI=10.5120/ijca2019919099
At present, deep learning is a fast growing research area of machine learning, which can extract more effective features by using a cascade of nonlinear layer units, some of them use deep convolutional neural network to process digital images. DCGAN stands for Deep Convolutional Generative Adversarial Networks, which is an unsupervised learning method for neural networks. The model consists of two networks. A generator that generates an image from a noise vector, and a discriminator that discriminates between a generated image and a real image. The generator model takes random input values and transforms them into images through a deconvolutional neural network, whereas DCGAN generates an image from random parameters. In this paper, an unsupervised learning method is proposed which is based on DCGAN to generate the image of codes and use the discriminator to encode the image, in the training stage, except the minimax cost function for the GAN network, the distance between input code of generator and the output code of discriminator is minimized. On MNIST dataset, this method has achieved good experiment result, experiments show that this architecture can learn the code of images and further prove the method has the ability to understand a set of image without extra knowledge, and can reconstruct the image using the generated code.
