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 in the references 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 for specific applications. To reduce confusion I have chosen to use dataset for collections of images used by researchers in some domain. Current research and applications are highlighted in various general and topical conferences. Some of these have evaluation sessions with related datasets.
