# fMoW-RGB-baseline

This dataset is a preprocessed version of the [Functional Map of the Word (fMoW)](https://github.com/fmow/dataset) dataset.

The fMoW-RGB dataset version was preprocessed strictly following the [official baseline code](https://github.com/fMoW/baseline/blob/26a59edde8f3a30af50df95c1ceb37f80f70d5ec/code/data_ml_functions/dataFunctions.py).
In short, original images are cropped according to their AOIs, and resized to 224×224 pixels JPEGs. Associated to the images, we provide metadata JSON files with some fields processed such that they match the cropped-resized images (such as ground sampling distance and the geographic boundaries).

## Data format

Images are provided in JPEG format.
The JSON metadata file format follow the original data. For metadata fields whose value is different from the original, the original key-values are kept under the field named "orig". Metadata keys are best documented in the [fMoW paper](https://arxiv.org/abs/1711.07846) - Appendix I.

## Data splits

The dataset splits are identical to the original fMoW splits.
Text files for the different splits are available in the `splits` directory. Each row contain the path to an image and it's associated metadata file.

## Attribution

The fMoW dataset was proposed in Christie, Gordon, et al. "Functional Map of the World." Proceedings of the IEEE Conference on Computer Vision and Pattern Recognition. 2018. https://doi.org/10.1109/CVPR.2018.00646.
