A New Benchmark Dataset for Texture Image Analysis and Surface Defect Detection
This provides a new dataset for researchers in computer vision working on texture analysis and defect detection, but it is incremental as it builds on existing benchmark efforts.
The authors introduced the STI dataset, a benchmark for texture image analysis and surface defect detection, consisting of 4 classes of stone texture images with properties like local rotation and unbalanced classes, and evaluated it by applying descriptors to compare with other state-of-the-art datasets.
Texture analysis plays an important role in many image processing applications to describe the image content or objects. On the other hand, visual surface defect detection is a highly research field in the computer vision. Surface defect refers to abnormalities in the texture of the surface. So, in this paper a dual purpose benchmark dataset is proposed for texture image analysis and surface defect detection titled stone texture image (STI dataset). The proposed benchmark dataset consist of 4 different class of stone texture images. The proposed benchmark dataset have some unique properties to make it very near to real applications. Local rotation, different zoom rates, unbalanced classes, variation of textures in size are some properties of the proposed dataset. In the result part, some descriptors are applied on this dataset to evaluate the proposed STI dataset in comparison with other state-of-the-art datasets.
