Collecting ground-truth data for Trustable AI in Mapping

Highlands Rewilding is part of a consortium developing new standards to assess the reliability of Artificial Intelligence (AI) algorithms used in environmental mapping.

Our role in this Trustable AI in Mapping (TAiM) project was to conduct detailed field surveys, providing robust data against which outputs from AI algorithms can be assessed, and to carry out research into the types and sources of ecological errors, asking, “Is ground-truth data ever really the truth?”.
