Materials In Paintings (MIP): An interdisciplinary dataset for perception, art history, and computer vision.

In this paper, we capture and explore the painterly depictions of materials to enable the study of depiction and perception of materials through the artists' eye. We annotated a dataset of 19k paintings with 200k+ bounding boxes from which polygon segments were automatically extracted. Each bou...
