OberflächenTex
OberflächenTex is a standardized dataset and benchmarking framework for the analysis of surface textures across materials and imaging modalities. The term combines the German words for surface and texture, signaling its focus on micro and mesoscale features visible on real-world materials. The project aims to support reproducible research by providing a common set of data, annotations, and evaluation protocols.
The collection includes high-resolution color and grayscale photographs of surfaces such as metals, ceramics, polymers, wood,
Every sample is accompanied by metadata describing the material class, surface roughness, gloss level, color, porosity,
OberflächenTex supports tasks including texture classification, material recognition, texture segmentation, roughness estimation, and 3D surface reconstruction.
The data are distributed under an open license suitable for research use, and provided in commonly used
