"NUUR-Texture500" is a dataset of diverse texture images created to facilitate research on texture analysis and synthesis. The textures in this dataset are spatially homogeneous, ranging from regular to stochastic, typically containing repeated elements with random variations in position, shape, orientation and color. For a detailed description of the dataset construction and contents, readers should refer to the following paper: Jue Lin, Gaurav Sharma, Thrasyvoulos N. Pappas, "Towards Universal Texture Synthesis by Combining Texton Broadcasting with Noise Injection in StyleGAN-2", Journal of e-Prime - Advances in Electrical Engineering, Electronics and Energy (3) (2023), https://doi.org/10.1016/j.prime.2022.100092 Permission to copy and use this dataset for noncommercial use is hereby granted provided this notice is retained in all copies and the dataset distribution and the paper mentioned below are clearly cited.
