The encoder ANN may have been trained with a first plurality of domain training images such that an output image patch visually resembling the input image patch can be generated from the feature vector. A generator ANN may be configured to receive the feature vector and produce a generated image patch from the first feature vector. The generator ANN may have been trained with feature vectors derived from a first plurality of domain training images and a second plurality of generative training images such that the generated image patch visually resembles the input image patch but is constructed of a newly-generated image elements visually resembling one or more image patches from the second plurality of generative training images.}, url = {http://knowledge.uchicago.edu/record/7408}, }
