What is StyleGAN?

StyleGAN is a machine learning based model developed by NVIDIA primarily used for generating and manipulating realistic images. It stands for Style Generative Adversarial Network. StyleGAN is an extension of the Generative Adversarial Network (GAN) architecture that excels at creating high quality synthetic images by learning from large datasets.

It is particularly known for its ability to generate high resolution and diverse images, especially human faces, with fine details, and allowing control over various aspects of the generated images such as age, gender, pose, and other visual attributes. StyleGAN has been widely used in creative applications, art, research, and the entertainment industry due to its capacity to generate highly realistic and customizable images.
