A Review on Domain Adaption and Generative Adversarial Networks(GANs)
This is an incremental review paper that discusses existing techniques for domain adaptation to help researchers and practitioners in computer vision overcome data scarcity issues.
The paper reviews domain adaptation methods, particularly using Generative Adversarial Networks (GANs), to address the challenge of scarce labeled data in computer vision, aiming to enable models trained on one dataset to predict on different domains.
The major challenge in today's computer vision scenario is the availability of good quality labeled data. In a field of study like image classification, where data is of utmost importance, we need to find more reliable methods which can overcome the scarcity of data to produce results comparable to previous benchmark results. In most cases, obtaining labeled data is very difficult because of the high cost of human labor and in some cases impossible. The purpose of this paper is to discuss Domain Adaptation and various methods to implement it. The main idea is to use a model trained on a particular dataset to predict on data from a different domain of the same kind, for example - a model trained on paintings of airplanes predicting on real images of airplanes
