• Abstract summary: We introduce a new, large-scale challenging microscopic material surface dataset (CoMMonS) We then conduct a comprehensive evaluation of state-of-the-art deep learning-based methods for texture classification using CoMMonS. Our results show that, in comparison with the state-of-the-art deep texture descriptors, MuLTER yields higher accuracy not only on our CoMMonS dataset for material characterization, but also on established datasets such as MINC-2500 and GTOS-mobile for material recognition.

• Abstract: Tactile sensing or fabric hand plays a critical role in an individual's decision to buy a certain fabric from the range of available fabrics for a desired application. Therefore, textile and clothing manufacturers have long been in search of an objective method for assessing fabric hand, which can then be used to engineer fabrics with a desired hand. Recognizing textures and materials in real-world images has played an important role in object recognition and scene understanding. In this paper, we explore how to computationally characterize apparent or latent properties (e.g., surface smoothness) of materials, i.e., computational material surface characterization, which moves a step further beyond material recognition. We formulate the problem as a very fine-grained texture classification problem, and study how deep learning-based texture representation techniques can help tackle the task. We introduce a new, large-scale challenging microscopic material surface dataset (CoMMonS), geared towards an automated fabric quality assessment mechanism in an intelligent manufacturing system. We then conduct a comprehensive evaluation of state-of-the-art deep learning-based methods for texture classification using CoMMonS. Additionally, we propose a multi-level texture encoding and representation network (MuLTER), which simultaneously leverages low- and high-level features to maintain both texture details and spatial information in the texture representation. Our results show that, in comparison with the state-of-the-art deep texture descriptors, MuLTER yields higher accuracy not only on our CoMMonS dataset for material characterization, but also on established datasets such as MINC-2500 and GTOS-mobile for material recognition.

  The complex structure and texture information are mixed in a retinal image, and distinguishing the information is difficult. Existing methods handle texture and structure jointly, which may lead biased models toward recognizing textures and thus results in inferior segmentation performance. We propose a segmentation strategy that seeks to separate structure and texture components and significantly improve the performance.
