Created by AI researchers from Google, the Max Planck Institute and MIT CSAIL, this team has devised an approach to dot-based modifications of <strong>realistic images<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n<p>To achieve this, <a href=\"https:\/\/liora.io\/en\/deep-neural-network-what-is-it-and-how-is-it-working\" rel=\"noopener\" target=\"_blank\">DYG uses two deep neural networks<\/a>, a generator and a discriminator, which work in opposition to each other to generate new synthetic images compared with the original. Besides these neural networks, the researchers designed DYG based on <a href=\"https:\/\/github.com\/XingangPan\/DragGAN\" rel=\"noopener\" target=\"_blank\">latent code optimization<\/a>, which enables them to move the image to the indicated location, while preserving its proportions and structure.<\/p>\n\n\n<p>Currently in the testing phase, the group hopes to extend its model to <strong>3D modifications<\/strong> in the coming months.<\/p>\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image aligncenter size-full is-resized\" style=\"width:680px;max-width:100%;margin-top:32px;margin-right:auto;margin-bottom:32px;margin-left:auto\"><img alt=\"Illustration for What Is Drag Your GAN?\" decoding=\"async\" height=\"231\" loading=\"lazy\" sizes=\"(max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px\" src=\"https:\/\/liora.io\/app\/uploads\/sites\/9\/2023\/06\/Capture-1024x296.png\" srcset=\"https:\/\/liora.io\/app\/uploads\/sites\/9\/2023\/06\/Capture-1024x296.png 1024w, https:\/\/liora.io\/app\/uploads\/sites\/9\/2023\/06\/Capture-300x87.png 300w, https:\/\/liora.io\/app\/uploads\/sites\/9\/2023\/06\/Capture-768x222.png 768w, https:\/\/liora.io\/app\/uploads\/sites\/9\/2023\/06\/Capture.png 1287w\" style=\"width:680px;max-width:100%;height:auto\" width=\"800\"\/><\/figure>\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"how-does-drag-your-gan-work\">How does Drag Your GAN work?<\/h2>\n\n\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/vcai.mpi-inf.mpg.de\/projects\/DragGAN\/\" rel=\"noopener\" target=\"_blank\">DYG<\/a> is a futuristic <strong>image editor<\/strong>. Far from replacing Photoshop, it will enable users to transform their photos easily at will. All you have to do is select two points, the start and end zones, and <strong>let the model do its thing<\/strong>. As a pre-trained model, DYG can only modify so-called realistic images, such as photos of humans, landscapes or animals. But it can also <strong>create textures<\/strong> such as teeth or eyes from scratch.<\/p>\n\n\n<div style=\"width: 640px;\" class=\"wp-video\"><!--[if lt IE 9]><script>document.createElement('video');<\/script><![endif]-->\n<video class=\"wp-video-shortcode\" id=\"video-168501-1\" width=\"640\" height=\"360\" preload=\"metadata\" controls=\"controls\"><source type=\"video\/mp4\" src=\"https:\/\/vcai.mpi-inf.mpg.de\/projects\/DragGAN\/data\/DragGAN.mp4?_=1\" \/><a href=\"https:\/\/vcai.mpi-inf.mpg.de\/projects\/DragGAN\/data\/DragGAN.mp4\">https:\/\/vcai.mpi-inf.mpg.de\/projects\/DragGAN\/data\/DragGAN.mp4<\/a><\/video><\/div>\n\n\n<p>Building on their nascent success, GANs could well become <strong>the next blockbuster technology<\/strong> after generative AI.
