+ ## Dataset Summary
14
+ This dataset is Task 3 of [**MarsRetrieval**](https://github.com/ml-stat-Sustech/MarsRetrieval), a retrieval-centric benchmark for evaluating vision-language models (VLMs) on Mars geospatial discovery.
15
+ Task 3 simulates **planetary-scale discovery** by localizing scientific concepts within the global CTX mosaic, which comprises over **1.4 million** CTX tiles.
16
+
17
+ Ground-truth reference points are compiled from published global scientific catalogues of five Martian landforms:
18
+
19
+ - Alluvial Fans
20
+ - Glacier-Like Forms
21
+ - Landslides
22
+ - Pitted Cones
23
+ - Yardangs
24
+
25
+ ## Task Formulation
26
+
27
+ - **Text → Image** retrieval
28
+ - **Image → Image** retrieval
29
+
30
+ The model retrieves top-K candidate tiles from the global index. A retrieved tile is considered correct if its projected center falls within a spatial tolerance radius (default r = 0.5°) of a ground-truth catalogue coordinate.
31
+
32
+ ## Metrics
33
+
34
+ Given the extreme sparsity of positives, we report:
35
+
36
+ - **AUPRC** (Area Under Precision–Recall Curve)
37
+ - **Optimal F1@K\*** (best F1 over retrieval depth K)
38
+
39
+ These metrics quantify planetary-scale distribution estimation rather than simple top-K accuracy.

43
+ ## How to Use
44
+ ```python
45
+ from datasets import load_dataset
46
+
47
+ # Load the ground-truth catalogs for the 5 landforms
48
+ gt_catalogs = load_dataset("SUSTech/marsretrieval-t3-geolocalization", "ground_truth")
49
+
50
+ # Load image queries used for image-based localization
51
+ queries = load_dataset("SUSTech/marsretrieval-t3-geolocalization", "image_queries")
52
+ ```
53
+
54
+ For detailed instructions on the retrieval-centric protocol and official evaluation scripts, please refer to our [Official Dataset Documentation](https://github.com/ml-stat-Sustech/MarsRetrieval/blob/main/docs/DATASET.md).
