TILDA

TILDAis a Textile Texture Database which was developed within the framework of the working group Texture Analysis of the DFG`s (Deutsche Forschungsgemeinschaft) major research programme "Automatic Visual Inspection of Technical Objects". This working group developed and analysed methods which made it possible to recognise and distinguish
textures of varying kinds.

A total of eight representative textile kinds were included in the database. Based on the analysis of textile atlases, seven error classes were defined. With the reference classification - a class of textiles without error - there exists therefore eight sorts of classes for each kind of textile.

For each of the above classes 50 TIF-pictures (768x512 pixel, greylevel image 8 bit) were acquired through relocation and rotation of the textile sample. The entire texture textile database consists, therefore, of 3200 TIF pictures with a storage capacity of ca. 1.2 Gbyte.

For every picture in the TILDA database there exists an ASCII-file which briefly describes the error. A more complete description of the entire database is found in the attached postscript file.

The TILDA database can be obtained on two CD-ROMS directly from the Institute for Pattern Recognition and Image Processing of the Albert-Ludwigs-Universität Freiburg for the price of EURO 95.
