Counting all vs. stop@ 30?

  • Zoomngirl by Zoomngirl

    Which is a better benefit to the research? To complete fewer images but count every penguin (or as many as can by distinguished and marked), or to move on after hitting the threshold of 30. Thereby completing a greater number of images, but counting fewer total penguins?

    Hi,

    the best benefit for the research is to mark all the visible penguins/eggs/others before finishing the image classification. But we understand it is sometimes impossible to count all 1098 penguins. That's why you have a chance to stop after 30. We really appreciate when you count more than 30.

    Thank you for the question and for your hard work:)
