This dataset contains images from PASCAL VOC1, MS COCO2, and ImageNet3, which have been supplemented with material region and material segmentation annotations.

Please cite the following work when you use this database in your research:

  • Recognizing Material Properties from Images

    in IEEE Trans. on Pattern Analysis and Machine Intelligence, 2019.
    [ IEEE Online First ][ project 1 ][ project 2 ]

matdb tax We provide annotations for examples of the following material categories:

  • Asphalt
  • Ceramic
  • Concrete
  • Fabric
  • Foliage
  • Food
  • Glass
  • Metal
  • Paper
  • Plaster
  • Plastic
  • Rubber
  • Soil
  • Stone
  • Water
  • Wood

File Layout

For each image in images/, there will be a mask in masks/{category}/{imagename}_{category}_mask.png for any category annotated in that image. For some masks, there is an additional refinedmask.png version which has been refined using a CRF with manual guidance.
