Adaptive Context-Aware Generative Adversarial Network for Low-quality Image Enhancement by Xingyu Pan, Fengling Chen

“…To this end, a novel flow-based generative adversarial network with dual attention (FGAN-DA) is devised for data generation. Specifically, FGAN-DA constructs a hybrid generative model via combining explicit and implicit components within the GAN architecture, which effectively alleviates detail blurred and singularity caused by sole generation modeling. …”
