Earning and time figures are our broad estimates, not guarantees — actual results depend on your area, your effort and demand.

Why it's left-field

Alpine tech firms pay you to outline glowing 3D tree trunks on laser maps of snowy mountains from your laptop at home.

How it works

  1. 1Register on computer vision annotation platforms hosting alpine geospatial datasets.
  2. 2Trace 3D polygon boundaries around tree lines and pylon bases in laser point cloud frames.
  3. 3Submit annotated point cloud tiles after passing quality control checks.
