We have already seen state-of-the-art image generation techniques with Generative Adversarial Networks (Goodfellow et al. 2014), Variational Autoencoder and Recurrent Network for Image generation (K. Gregor et al. 2015). But all these architectures fail to learn object location and pose in images. In this paper, I propose Recurrent Capsule Network based on variational auto encoding framework which can not only preserve equivariance in images in the latent space but also can be used for image classification and generation. For image classification, it can recognise highly overlapping objects due to the use of capsules (Hinton et al. 2011), considerably better than convolutional networks. It can generate images which can be difficult to differentiate from the real data.
