  • Mixed reality and deep learning : augmenting visual information using generative adversarial networks
    Šoberl, Domen
    This chapter summarizes the theory of Generative Adversarial Networks (GANs), overviews the evolution of GAN methods that have either been used in published Augmented Reality (AR) research or have a ... strong potential for future AR work, and presents interesting use cases of GANs in AR. GAN is one of the most innovative deep learning techniques. Since it was first introduced in 2014, many variations have been proposed. Recent implementations can create photo-realistic high-fidelity visual content that is virtually indiscernible from real-world images. In AR, photo-realism is crucial for the user to perceive the composed reality as belonging to the same world. The composition of virtual objects into the real-world background must be done in a plausible way, with semantically-aware object placement, consistent illumination and convincingly cast shadows. Various GAN architectures were proposed that address one or another of these challenges. The discussed methods are categorized into three distinct groups that correspond to unrelated bodies of research: GANs for image composition, AR face filters, and 3D model generators.
