Synthetic Diabetic Retinopathy Fundus Image Generation with StyleGAN3

This concept covers using a StyleGAN3 generator to synthesize realistic early-stage diabetic retinopathy fundus images, bearing microaneurysms, to augment scarce medical training data. Students learn how alias-free, rotationally invariant convolutional layers preserve fine retinal detail, how generated image quality is validated with Fréchet and Kernel Inception Distance, equivariance, and expert Turing tests, and why synthetic augmentation can improve supervised classifiers for earlier disease detection.
