## PreGRES: A Large-Scale Geospatial Dataset Collection |
|
|
|
|
|
**PreGRES** is a large-scale structured collection of existing smaller-scale geospatial datasets, designed for fine-tuning vision-language models in remote sensing applications. It integrates multiple sources, each contributing to different aspects of geospatial data understanding. |
|
|
|
|
|
The datasets within **PreGRES** support three major tasks, listed below. To use them, please download the associated image files via the provided links and place them in their respective folders. Then, download the **`pregres.json`** file and ensure your directory is organized as follows: |
|
|
|
|
|
``` |
|
