Texture Retrieval in the Wild through detection-based attributes
Capturing the essence of a textile image in a robust way is important to retrieve it in a large repository, especially if it has been acquired in the wild (by taking a photo of the textile of interest). In this paper we show that a texel-based representation fits well with this task. In particular, we refer to Texel-Att, a recent texel-based descriptor which has shown to capture fine grained variations of a texture, for retrieval purposes. After a brief explanation of Texel-Att, we will show in our experiments that this descriptor is robust to distortions resulting from acquisitions in the wild by setting up an experiment in which textures from the ElBa (an Element-Based texture dataset) are artificially distorted and then used to retrieve the original image. We compare our approach with existing descriptors using a simple ranking framework based on distance functions. Results show that even under extreme conditions (such as a down-sampling with a factor of 10), we perform better than alternative approaches.

Texel-Att: Representing and Classifying Element-based Textures by Attributes
Element-based textures are a kind of texture formed by nameable elements, the texels [1], distributed according to specific statistical distributions; it is of primary importance in many sectors, namely textile, fashion …

Patterns and textures are defining characteristics of many natural objects: a shirt can be striped, the wings of a butterfly can be veined, and the skin of an animal can be scaly. Aiming at supporting this analytical dim…
