datasets

here are some data sets. the adventurous hacker might try to compile their own:

1. OpenStreetMap is a great source of building footprints, you'll need them in the GML format. (we also used OS's Mastermap).
2. qgis is an easy way to process and filter different GIS data sources to create GML building footprints.
   • instructions for osm import to qgis
   • right click on the layer in qgis and use the filter option to remove non-building objects
3. a tool to that might help you download panoramas from google streetview.
   • if you save the results as "panos/todo.list" in a project directory and create a panorama layer in the same place, then an option to download the panorama images will appear in the block layer options in chordatlas.
4. Segnet-Facade is our CNN for finding features in street view images.
5. here's some hacky code that might help you download meshes from online 3D services.
6. a video showing how to align a mesh to the GIS footprints.
