Databases or Datasets for Computer Vision Applications and Testing
Test data is available in bits and pieces and in several larger repositories, These datasets are selected from references included in the Computer Vision Bibliography. The links on the Author and Journal references in the list point to entries in that database. Generally, to avoid confusion, in this bibliography database is used for database systems or research and would apply to image database query techniques rather than a database containing images for use in specific applications. I have thus chosen dataset to describe collections of images used by researchers in some domain. Current research and applications are highlighted in various Computer Vision and Image Processing Conferences. Some of these have evaluation sessions with related datasets.

Dataset
Definition:* A collections of images used by researchers to evaluate programs. This is distinct from the uses of database, which is usually used to describe database systems or research or image databases used for querys.
