For this chapter, we will use the large-scale CelebFaces Attributes (CelebA) dataset, which is available at http://mmlab.ie.cuhk.edu.hk/projects/CelebA.html. The dataset contains 202, 599 face images of celebrities.
The dataset is available for non-commercial research purposes only and can't be used for commercial purposes. If you intend to use the dataset for commercial purposes, seek permissions from the owners of the images.
We will use the CelebA dataset to train our SRGAN network. Perform the following steps to download and extract the dataset:
- Download the dataset from the following link:
https://www.dropbox.com/sh/8oqt9vytwxb3s4r/AAB06FXaQRUNtjW9ntaoPGvCa?dl=0
- Extract images from the downloaded img_align_celeba.zip by executing the following command:
unzip img_align_celeba.zip
We have now downloaded and extracted the dataset. We can now start working on the Keras implementation of SRGAN.
