San Francisco Landmark Dataset

Images

The San Francisco Landmark Dataset contains a database of 1.7 million images of buildings in San Francisco with ground truth labels, geotags, and calibration data, as well as a difficult query set of 803 cell phone images taken with a variety of different camera phones. The data is originally acquired by vehicle-mounted cameras with wide-angle lenses capturing spherical panoramic images. For all visible buildings in each panorama, a set of overlapping perspective images is generated.
