Abstract

GAN has become one of the commonly-used image generation models. However, the discriminator of GAN is prone to the vanishing gradient problem in the training process, which leads to the instability of training. So that it is difficult to obtain the optimal GAN, and the quality of generation image is poor. To solve this problem, it designed a CNN with spectral normalization which satisfied the Lipchitz condition as the discriminator. Together with the Transformer generator, this paper proposed an image generation model, namely TCSNGAN(Transformer CSN GAN). The network structure of discriminator was simple, which could solve the problem of training instability of GAN model, and could configure the number of adjustable CSN modules according to the image resolution of data sets to achieve the optimal performance of the model. Experiments on public datasets CIFAR-10 and STL-10 show that the proposed TCSNGAN model has low complexity, and the generated image quality is good. And the experiments of fire image generation task demonstrates the effectiveness of small-sample dataset augmentation.
