Ground-Truth Data

Describe the geotagged photos you need. The generated link will be used to privately prompt the crowd's phones using Google Ask Photos AI.

e.g. Photos of construction sites in Addis Ababa in January 2026

Generate Link

Share the generated link 👆 with your network. An easy way to do this is to create a Google Form that includes the generated link and a field to collect the photo album links.

✨ If you need a managed solution to get ground-truth data (i.e. to skip steps 2 and 3), get in touch. This video explains the managed solution: how ground-truth data is unlocked, how real-time data is collected, and how the data is analysed using AI agents.

Once you receive the photo album links, download the CSV file from your Google Form responses tab and add it to the Ground-Truth Data (GTD) Generator to automatically generate the spatial analysis-ready data.

⚙️ The GTD Generator also allows you to create AI-generated descriptions of every photo using your Google AI Studio API key.

🌍 Once you have your data, you can analyse the data using QGIS/ArcGIS or AI-powered geospatial analysis tools such as Google Earth AI or CARTO AI Agents.

🔒 The GTD Generator and the 3-step workflow are designed so that askphotos.earth does not have access to any of your or the crowd's data.

🗨️ Please get in touch if you have a technical issue, feedback, or want to collaborate.
