Introducing Pix2Pix with pseudocode

When image-to-image translation with conditional adversarial networks, released as Pix2Pix, came out in 2016, it was widely praised as a simple style-transfer network that works out of the box. The network requires less parameter tuning than other techniques in the field, and you'll see the power of this network at the end of this chapter. In this recipe, we're going to cover the basics of the algorithm and present pseudocode prior to implementing the actual code.
