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 10.0 px hereCountable

At ~10 px across, individual plants carry enough shape and colour for instance detection. Counting individuals is defensible at this scale.

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.

A true-zero scene: the generator planted no plants at all, only hard negatives. Any count above zero here is a false positive, which is the cheapest honest test of a detector there is.

Ground truth by species

0 plants and 36 planted hard negatives, exact by construction.

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