Abstract :
The development of image processing/computer vision algorithms is often limited by the data available to the researcher, in terms of both quality and quantity. This paper describes an extensive image data base, the Sowerby Image Database (SID), which has been specifically designed to facilitate rigorous algorithm development and testing in the areas of image segmentation and image labelling. Details are given of the database content, the process by which it was constructed and some preliminary results from its use
