1. A method, comprising:
obtaining an image;
generating an image vector from the image using an encoder deep neural network;
generating an icon based on the image vector using a generative adversarial network (GAN);
training at least one of:
the encoder deep neural network to generate the image vector from the image using a set of labeled training images, and
the GAN to generate the icon based on the image vector using a set of labeled training icons; and
outputting the icon.
