Abstract
We present the TESTIMAGES archive, a huge and free collection of sample images designed for analysis and quality assessment of different kinds of displays (i.e. monitors, televisions and digital cinema projectors) and image processing tecnhiques. The archive includes more than 2 million images originally acquired and divided in four different categories: SAMPLING and SAMPLING_PATTERNS (aimed at testing resampling algorithms), COLOR (aimed at testing color rendering on different displays) and PATTERNS (aimed at testing the rendering of standard geometrical patterns). The archive is currently online as a SourceForge project and, even if not yet publicized in the scientific community, it has already been used in different contexts and cited in scientific publications. We plan to extend the archive including datasets for other kinds of specific analyses.
