The images generated by the generator and the at least one real training image that belong to the same semantic training map are supplied to a discriminator. The discriminator ascertains a semantic segmentation of the image assigned to it, the segmentation assigning a semantic meaning to each pixel of this image. From the semantic segmentation ascertained by the discriminator, it is evaluated whether the image supplied to the discriminator is a generated image or a real training image.
