Pix2Pix is a deep learning framework that employs conditional Generative Adversarial Networks (cGANs) for image-to-image translation tasks. It learns a mapping from input images to output images, enabling applications such as converting sketches to photos, colorizing black-and-white images, and transforming satellite images to maps. The model combines adversarial loss with L1 loss to produce realistic and accurate translations.
