VSIBench

This dataset upload contains the contents of:

/scratch/dwirtz1/qic/spatialcode_data

The original directory contains 1,841,072 files across:

• arkitscenes/
• scannet/
• scannetpp/

To keep the Hugging Face dataset repository usable, the data is stored as split .tar.zst archives instead of uploading the raw file tree.

Storage Requirements

The uploaded split archives take about 119G on disk (126.9GB decimal). After extraction, the restored spatialcode_data/ directory takes about 127G on disk (130.9GB decimal).

Plan for:

• 119G to download and store only the compressed archive parts.
• 127G for the fully extracted spatialcode_data/ directory.
• About 246G total if you keep both the downloaded archives and extracted data at the same time.
• 270G+ free space is recommended to leave room for filesystem overhead and partial downloads.

If disk space is tight, restore one source at a time and delete its archive parts after verifying extraction.

Download

Install the Hugging Face CLI if needed:

pip install -U huggingface_hub

Download the dataset files into a local folder:

hf download qicq1c/VSIBench \
  --repo-type dataset \
  --local-dir VSIBench \
  --local-dir-use-symlinks False

This creates a folder like:

VSIBench/
  README.md
  SHA256SUMS
  arkitscenes.tar.zst.part-000
  ...
  scannet.tar.zst.part-000
  ...
  scannetpp.tar.zst.part-000
  ...

Verify

Check that all downloaded archive parts match the uploaded checksums:

cd VSIBench
sha256sum -c SHA256SUMS

Restore Directory Structure

The archives contain the original top-level directories. To recreate the original spatialcode_data directory structure:

cd VSIBench
mkdir -p spatialcode_data

cat arkitscenes.tar.zst.part-* | tar --zstd -xf - -C spatialcode_data
cat scannet.tar.zst.part-* | tar --zstd -xf - -C spatialcode_data
cat scannetpp.tar.zst.part-* | tar --zstd -xf - -C spatialcode_data

After extraction, the restored layout is:

VSIBench/
  spatialcode_data/
    arkitscenes/
    scannet/
    scannetpp/

This matches the contents of the original source directory:

/scratch/dwirtz1/qic/spatialcode_data/
  arkitscenes/
  scannet/
  scannetpp/

If you want to restore directly to a specific absolute path, create that directory and use it as the extraction target:

mkdir -p /scratch/dwirtz1/qic/spatialcode_data
cat arkitscenes.tar.zst.part-* | tar --zstd -xf - -C /scratch/dwirtz1/qic/spatialcode_data
cat scannet.tar.zst.part-* | tar --zstd -xf - -C /scratch/dwirtz1/qic/spatialcode_data
cat scannetpp.tar.zst.part-* | tar --zstd -xf - -C /scratch/dwirtz1/qic/spatialcode_data

Restore One Subset

You can also restore only one source:

mkdir -p spatialcode_data
cat scannet.tar.zst.part-* | tar --zstd -xf - -C spatialcode_data
