# VIGOR-M

VIGOR-M is distributed as four city image archives plus one common metadata
archive. Every archive extracts into the same top-level `VIGOR-M/` directory.

## Files

| Archive | Size | SHA-256 |
|---|---:|---|
| `Chicago.tar.gz` | 26.81 GiB | `c3b57cc6b22469d37132ed1ab1928c9bc9f4ec2106246f4a226ad9e83d6e315c` |
| `NewYork.tar.gz` | 39.14 GiB | `2c1fbc296dd7aba2d3b0e9bcb5edef1b2370bcbf8f6e7ccf7ef1264a681f2fa4` |
| `SanFrancisco.tar.gz` | 29.85 GiB | `772fc3e784243a77078716351f3cccce9ca6e1a62cc41591356d5502d24b1fe7` |
| `Seattle.tar.gz` | 35.68 GiB | `a1b21f51fb10d13eb10ad74686cdc8cb0c8c9f59ce812b37b87b8dcb56b6d319` |
| `metadata.tar.gz` | 0.03 GiB | `94dc852d768ca1aecab9ae5bad4b1af325345c810df9eeebdd5dd19c45391e41` |

Download all five archives for the complete dataset. Then verify and extract:

```bash
sha256sum -c SHA256SUMS
mkdir -p dataset
for archive in Chicago.tar.gz NewYork.tar.gz SanFrancisco.tar.gz Seattle.tar.gz metadata.tar.gz; do
  tar -xzf "$archive" -C dataset
done
```

The resulting data root is `dataset/VIGOR-M`. The four city archives contain
`panoramas/<city>`, `satellite/<city>/L0..L3`, and the corresponding city CSVs.
`metadata.tar.gz` contains the frozen global splits, city bounds, panorama north
headings, manifest, release notes, and verification tool.

VIGOR-M is released under the MIT license. See `VIGOR-M/DATA_LICENSE.md` in the
metadata archive for the complete data-use and attribution notes.

## Dataset Viewer

The Viewer exposes the tabular ground-query index for the `same_area` and
`cross_area` protocols. Each row contains the city, panorama path, geographic
coordinates, and its L0-L3 satellite tile identifiers. The image pixels remain
in the downloadable city archives listed above.
