Inspect the original
Zoom into the image viewer and hide overlays so they do not cover detail. Return to the full frame and compare scale with surroundings. Digital zoom adds no new information. If detail is insufficient, keep the result To verify rather than forcing confirmation.
Compare neighbouring views
Check video frames before and after the hint, or overlapping photos. A changed viewpoint may reveal a trunk, shadow or person-like shape. Repeated detection is not independent confirmation: the model can repeat the same mistake.
Record the assessment and limits
Use To verify, Confirmed or Rejected under the agreed procedure. Notes should distinguish image assessment from field confirmation. Do not read a model score as the probability of locating a particular person. An empty result is not proof that the ground was effectively searched either.
Hand over an honest position
Show on map uses actual telemetry. Without complete data it identifies the drone. Person estimates have camera-angle limits, a flat-terrain assumption and an uncertainty radius. Include those caveats with coordinates and time, and retain the original evidence. Share footage only with authorised recipients.
