Abstract
A generative adversarial network (GAN) system includes a generator neural sub-network configured to receive one or more images depicting one or more objects. The generator neural sub-network also is configured to generate a foreground image and a background image based on the one or more images that are received, the generator neural sub-network configured to combine the foreground image with the background image to form a consolidated image. The GAN system also includes a discriminator neural sub-network configured to examine the consolidated image and determine whether the consolidated image depicts at least one of the objects. The generator neural sub-network is configured to one or more of provide the consolidated image or generate an additional image as a training image used to train another neural network to automatically identify the one or more objects in one or more other images.
