Source-rights check
Checked on 2026-10-29 for this evaluation-results release.
| Source | Finding |
|---|---|
| Original AID project | States that AID images were collected from Google Earth. The inspected page supplies downloads and a citation but no explicit license permitting redistribution. |
| blanchon/AID | Dataset metadata declares license: unknown. This is the pinned image mirror used in the evaluation. |
| isaaccorley/aid | Dataset metadata declares license: unknown. This supplies the community partition. |
| Google Earth additional terms | The inspected terms restrict redistribution and copying, subject to stated exceptions and applicable law. They do not establish permission for this project to republish a bulk image dataset. |
| Google geo guidelines | Describe permitted display uses and attribution requirements; the inspected guidance does not establish a general bulk dataset redistribution license. |
Decision: permission to republish the AID image collection was not established. Original images and all image derivatives are excluded. Attribution or an existing public mirror alone does not resolve this uncertainty.
The published payload is an evaluation-results companion: locally generated numeric model measurements and correctness outcomes, exact experiment instructions, study protocols, and factual source identifiers needed to match results. Upstream category names are retained as attributed reference values; no ownership of the benchmark or license over its annotations is claimed. Downloading this release does not fetch source images. Source references are provenance, not an assertion that downstream copying or use is licensed.
No blanket open license is assigned to the combined release. Obtain the necessary rights separately before redistributing original imagery or relying on rights over upstream material. This check records the evidence and the resulting publication scope; it is not a definitive legal clearance of every downstream use.
