Oh man.

I am searching (thrashing) around for my next "big" project. i have been thinking of drones measuring roof / building quality and the CV/ML requirements are fairly high - getting my teeth stuck into these would really give me a better feel for training my own system.

The problem is, how do I feed my family while taking the six months to do it all?

This is wonderful. Though I was wish i could just specify columns that I need and download those. Or limit number of rows. 1.5 TB is quite a bit. Regardless, this is wonderful.

Would I be violating any law, copyright if I formatted it and put it on my server for that kind of consumption or via JSON?

im not sure this database will be able to help with that. i doubt building quality is going to be in the annotations, although i did not check.

If you're serious about this concept, create a drone company that takes real estate photos. That will give you hands on experience with the regulations, quality control issues, etc while giving you time to build up your training set.

Skynet ensues ... :)

Get back to us when A.I reaches that of a cockroach.

That would actually be pretty frighteningly advanced. Cockroaches seem to understand a lot more about their environment than AI's do at the best of times, and they run a lot of different and diverse "programs".
