Generative Adversarial Networks (GANs) have revolutionized the field of deep learning by enabling the production of high-quality synthetic data. However, the effectiveness of GANs largely depends on the size and quality of training data. In many real-world applications, collecting large amounts of high-quality training data is time-consuming, and expensive. Accordingly, in recent years, GAN models that use limited data have begun to be developed. In this study, we propose a GAN model that can learn from a single training image. Our model is based on the principle of multiple GANs operating sequentially at different scales, where each GAN learns the features of the training image and transfers them to the next GAN, ultimately generating examples with different realistic structures at the final scale. In our model, we utilized a self-attention and new scaling method to increase the realism and quality of the generated images. The experimental results show that our model performs image generation successfully. In addition, we demonstrated the robustness of our model by testing it in different image manipulation applications. As a result, our model can successfully produce realistic, high-quality, diverse images from a single training image, providing short training time and good training stability.

Üretken Çekişmeli Ağlar (GANs), yüksek kaliteli sentetik verilerin üretilmesini sağlayarak derin öğrenme alanında devrim yaratmıştır. Bununla birlikte, GAN'ların etkinliği büyük ölçüde eğitim verilerinin boyutuna ve kalitesine bağlıdır. Birçok gerçek dünya uygulamasında, büyük miktarda yüksek kaliteli eğitim verisi toplamak zaman alıcı ve pahalı bir süreçtir. Buna bağlı olarak, son yıllarda, az veri kullanan GAN modelleri geliştirilmeye başlanmıştır. Bu çalışmada tek bir eğitim görüntüsünden öğrenebilen üretken çekişmeli ağ model önermekteyiz. Modelimiz, farklı ölçeklerde sıralı olarak çalışan birden fazla GAN'ın, eğitim görüntüsünün özelliklerini öğrenip son ölçekte farklı gerçekçi yapılarla örnekler ürettiği bir prensibe dayanmaktadır. Modelimizde, üretilen görüntülerin gerçekçiliğini ve kalitesini artırmak amacıyla bir öz-dikkat ve yeni ölçeklendirme yöntemi kullandık. Deneysel sonuçlar, modelimizin başarılı bir şekilde çalıştığını göstermektedir. Buna ilaveten, modelimizi farklı görüntü manipülasyonu uygulamalarında test ederek model sağlamlığını ortaya koyduk. Sonuç olarak, geliştirdiğimiz GAN modeli; tek bir eğitim görüntüsünden faklı, gerçekçi ve kaliteli görüntü örneklerini başarılı bir şekilde üretebilmekte, kısa eğitim süresi ve iyi eğitim kararlılığı sağlamaktadır.
