Texture databases – A comprehensive survey

Texture analysis is a very important area in the field of computer vision and related fields. There are a good number of databases developed by different research groups for various texture analysis, in the field of medical analysis, robotics, recognition, analysis, image processing, etc. However, till-to-date, there is no comprehensive works covering the important databases and analyze these in various perspectives. In this paper, we consider this important task so that it becomes helpful for a researcher to choose and evaluate having crucial evaluating aspects in mind. We categorize and critically survey based on many references of the state-of-the-art related to the databases and other texture works. We strongly believe that this elegant survey will be a great contribution for the vision community, especially in the arena of texture analysis.

► Till-to-date, there is no comprehensive works on key texture datasets. ► This paper fills this void. ► It evaluates, categorizes and critically surveys. ► We strongly believe that this work is a solid contribution.
