Truth is exact by construction. Green crosses and boxes are real plants; dashed red are planted hard negatives — rock flecks, lichen and droppings a detector must not count.

Frame metadata

Everything downstream — every chart, every export, every number quoted to a panel — is indexed on these figures.

A 10 mm plant spans 5.0 px hereMarginal

At ~5.0 px across, plants are visible blobs but not resolved. Expect real recall loss and confusion with rock flecks and lichen; report counts with an error band, never as a bare number.

DJI Mavic 3E — wide

4/3 CMOS, 20 MP, 24 mm equivalent, ƒ=12.29 mm actual, 3.28 µm pitch. DJI's own rule of thumb is GSD ≈ H/36.5 cm/px; this spec gives ≈0.267 mm/px per metre AGL. The default survey camera and the one Keith is most likely to fly.

Truth first, then models. A run without truth on the frame produces counts but no accuracy.
