DTD (Describable Textures Dataset)

Introduced by Mircea Cimpoi et al. in Describing Textures in the Wild1 Jan 2014 archive 2025-07-28

The Describable Textures Dataset (DTD) contains 5640 texture images in the wild. They are annotated with human-centric attributes inspired by the perceptual properties of textures.

Benchmarks archive 2025-07-28

All 8 leaderboards whose dataset resolves to this page shown (sort by any header). "First row" is the archive's own first row at snapshot, in the archive's row order; nothing here re-ranks and metric direction is not asserted.

Papers archive 2025-07-28

30 shown of 32 papers with a leaderboard row on this dataset's benchmarks, newest first. The archive's own "papers using this dataset" list was never published, so this is the benchmark-backed subset; the archive's count for this dataset is 870. The Syntology column is from Syntology's graph (read 2026-09-24), stated per sample; it is not part of any archive number.
