Conditional Deep 3D-Convolutional Generative Adversarial Nets for RGB-D Generation

Abstract

Generation of synthetic data is a challenging task. There are only a few significant works on RGB video generation and no pertinent works on RGB-D data generation. In the present work, we focus our attention on synthesizing RGB-D data which can further be used as dataset for various applications like object tracking, gesture recognition, and action recognition. This paper has put forward a proposal for a novel architecture that uses conditional deep 3D-convolutional generative adversarial networks to synthesize RGB-D data by exploiting 3D spatio-temporal convolutional framework. The proposed architecture can be used to generate virtually unlimited data. In this work, we have presented the architecture to generate RGB-D data conditioned on class labels. In the architecture, two parallel paths were used, one to generate RGB data and the second to synthesize depth map. The output from the two parallel paths is combined to generate RGB-D data. The proposed model is used for video generation at 30 fps (frames per second). The frame referred here is an RGB-D with the spatial resolution of 512 × 512.
