Generative models, and in particular adversarial ones, are becoming prevalent in computer vision as they enable enhancing artistic creation, inspire designers, prove usefulness in semi-supervised learning or robotics applications. An important prerequisite towards intelligent behavior is the ability to anticipate future events. Predicting the appearance of future video frames is a proxy task towards pursuing this ability. We will present how generative adversarial networks (GANs) can help, and novel approaches predicting in higher level feature spaces of semantic segmentations. In a second part, we will see how to develop the abilities of GANs to deviate from training examples to generate novel images. Finally, as a limitation of GANs is the production of raw images of low resolution, we present solutions to produce vectorized results.
