Device and Method for Determining an Encoder Configured Image Analysis

Abstract
A computer-implemented method for training an encoder. The encoder is configured for determining a latent representation of an image. Training the encoder includes: determining a latent representation and a noise image by providing a training image to the encoder, wherein the encoder is configured for determining a latent representation and a noise image for a provided image; masking out parts of the noise image, thereby determining a masked noise image; determining a predicted image by providing the latent representation and the masked noise image to a generator of a generative adversarial network; training the encoder by adapting parameters of the encoder based on a loss value, wherein the loss value characterizes a difference between the predicted image and the training image.
