Abstract

Heritage preservation and awareness building has become a major application domain for computer vision techniques in recent days. Bishnupur is an important and well-known heritage site in West Bengal, India. This attractive tourist place is famous for its terracotta temples. In this article, we present an image dataset created by us for developing and evaluating various computer vision algorithms for preservation and visualization of heritage artifacts in digital space. The dataset includes images of some important temples, such as Jor Bangla temple, Kalachand temple, Madan Mohan temple, Nandalal temple, Radha Madhav temple, Rasmancha, and Shyamrai temple. Though this dataset can be used for many types of computer vision and image analysis algorithms, we have shown here its usefulness by testing the images for four different applications: 3D reconstruction, image inpainting, texture classification, and content-specific figure spotting and retrieval. Note that we have shown the results of baseline methods only. The dataset is publicly available at http://www.isical.ac.in/~bsnpr/ for research purpose only.
