1. How to download the images from the Place Pulse dataset.
   You need to edit and run the file code/download_place_pulse_urban_data.m
   Make sure you got a copy of the file consolidated_data_jsonformatted.json
   from the Place Pulse project webpage http://pulse.media.mit.edu/data/
   Take into account that this will download the latest available imagery from Google.
   You can send me an email to obtain the 2013 images that I used or the 2011 images
   from the original data collection in the PlacePulse dataset (vicente at cs dot unc dot edu).


2. How to sample and obtain images from other cities.

   You need to edit and run the file code/download_images_city.m
   This code requires a data file for each city with points defining a polygon
   that delineates the city boundaries.
   I included in this release the boundaries we used for the cities of Boston, New York,
   Chicago and Baltimore.
