- The eight-step workflow includes expert validation, remote annotations, and future AI datasets; six-month revisits are described as feasible, not guaranteed.
Field notes
The documented workflow runs from site selection and overlapping image capture through 3D reconstruction, linking date, depth, and location data, interpretation, repeat comparison, and annotation. The page describes a planned initial pilot in Quintana Roo, Mexico, for December 2026; repeat visits are suggested at roughly six-month intervals where feasible, while AI is framed as a future use for validated datasets.
