TY - JOUR TI - A Style-Based Generator Architecture for GANs (StyleGAN) AU - Karras, T. AU - Laine, S. AU - Aila, T. PY - 2019 DA - 2019/// JO - CVPR 2019 (IEEE/CVF) AB - Karras, Laine and Aila (2019) redesigned the GAN generator to inject learned style vectors at each resolution level via adaptive instance normalisation, replacing the traditional input latent with a mapping network that produces a disentangled intermediate latent space. The architecture gives fine-grained independent control over coarse features such as pose and face shape, mid-level features such as hairstyle, and fine-detail features such as skin texture. StyleGAN set the benchmark for photorealistic synthetic face generation and became the reference architecture for generative character work in animation, games and digital-human pipelines. Its successors (StyleGAN2, StyleGAN3) and the latent-editing methods built on its intermediate space form a widely taught family in AI-art and character-generation courses.
