September 18 Middle Blue Ridge restored

East Dumont now includes its recovered Apple GPS route. The full early Gaia/onX route is preserved; Watch coverage still begins 22 minutes late. Apple, Gaia and onX fill one another’s recording gaps. Dashed links mark true all-tracker pauses and are excluded from recorded distance. Photo originals remain in your supplied archives; placeholders identify deferred content. Existing observation IDs and saved labels are preserved.

Prototype status

This is an explainable similarity engine, not a trained mine detector. Photo locations are observations; photo content remains deferred in CORE. New terrain fingerprints have not been computed. Record the physical feature that actually exists at each location so the similarity engine learns from real mine workings, supporting evidence, natural terrain, and failed searches.

Closest reference photographs

Select an observation or candidate. Similarity initially uses route, mining context, and visual fingerprints. Building 3DEP fingerprints adds relief, slope, curvature, depression, and roughness.

Prediction candidates

Click a target to build a live 3DEP fingerprint and compare it with the photographed terrain.

Scan map center

Samples a 5 × 5 grid across roughly 800 meters and ranks the cells by similarity to your reviewed positive examples. With no labels, it ranks against the entire photo library.
