cow pattern generation with a deep convolutional generative adversarial network. (really low quality)

cow-gen!

details

---

this project uses a deep convolutional generative adversarial network to generate cow patterns.

unfortunately, i can't find a large dataset of cow faces and the quality isn't that great, so ive decided to just generating unique cow patterns. if anyone has a dataset of a lot of cow images, i would appreciate it a lot, if you'd let me use it <3.

note that:

• ive just downloaded a lot of images of google. so i have no info about the source of these images. i have no rights over the images in the dataset.
• dataset is really unorganized/small, since i scraped it myself
• the code was repurposed from keras's code examples. (code will look pretty similar)

here are some generated cow patterns if you came here for that:

note that epochs take a long time to generate, so you probably don't want to run it for that long.

for me, it took ~195 minutes to run 100 epochs.

but, if you still want to see it to spite me, clone this github repo, and run the jupyter notebook, with however many epochs you want!

ive really enjoyed learning about dcgans this week and happy that i actually made something?

thanks for reading ≧(´▽｀)≦
