## 📦 Overview

This repository hosts the **datasets** and **pretrained `.ply` Gaussian models** for
PanoLOG / GGPS — panoramic (equirectangular / ERP) outdoor 3D Gaussian Splatting
reconstruction. For training and rendering code, see the
[GGPS code repository](https://github.com/Insta360-Research-Team/GGPS).

- `datasets/` — per-scene capture data (ERP panoramas + openMVG reconstruction), one archive per scene.
- `ply/` — pretrained / reconstructed Gaussian Splatting `.ply` models.

## 🔢 Dataset overview

| Scene | Archive | Panoramas | Reconstruction |
|-------|---------|----------:|----------------|
| FTP   | `datasets/FTP.zip` | 354  | openMVG (`sfm_data.bin`/`.json`, `colorized.ply`, `cloud_and_poses.ply`) |
| NSC   | `datasets/NSC.zip` | 1862 | openMVG (same as above) |
| NSK   | `datasets/NSK.zip` | 576  | openMVG (same as above) |
| **Total** | | **2792** | |

All panoramas are equirectangular (ERP) `.png`.

## 🗂️ Layout

```text
GGPS/
├── datasets/            # per-scene archives (FTP.zip, NSC.zip, NSK.zip, ...)
│   └── README.md
└── ply/                 # pretrained .ply Gaussian models
    └── README.md
```

Each dataset archive expands to the openMVG → COLMAP layout expected by the code repo:

```text
<scene>/
├── images/                  # ERP panoramas
└── reconstruction/
    ├── sfm_data.bin         # openMVG binary (sfm_data.json can be re-exported from this)
    ├── sfm_data.json        # openMVG JSON
    ├── colorized.ply        # colorized sparse point cloud (3DGS init)
    └── cloud_and_poses.ply
```
