he Fabrics Dataset consists of about 2000 samples of garments and fabrics. A small patch of each surface has been captured under 4 different illumination conditions using a custom made, portable photometric stereo sensor. All images have been acquired "in the field" (at clothes shops) and the dataset reflects the distribution of fabrics in real world, hence it is not balanced. The majority of clothes are made of specific fabrics, such as cotton and polyester, while some other fabrics, such as silk and linen, are more rare. Also, a large number of clothes are not composed of a single fabric but two or more fabrics are used to give the garment the desired properties (blended fabrics). For every garment we kept information (attributes) about its material composition from the manufacturer label and its type (pants, shirt, skirt etc.).
