This paper provides conceptual foundation and procedures used in the development of diabetic foot ulcer datasets over the past decade, with a timeline to demonstrate progress. We conduct a survey on data capturing methods for foot photographs, an overview of research in developing private and public datasets, the related computer vision tasks (detection, segmentation and classification), the diabetic foot ulcer challenges and the future direction of the development of the datasets. We report the distribution of dataset users by country and year. Our aim is to share the technical challenges that we encountered together with good practices in dataset development, and provide motivation for other researchers to participate in data sharing in this domain.
