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

Global telecom firms pay you to outline glowing 3D underwater cable trenches on ocean floor laser maps from your laptop at home.

How it works

  1. 1Register on computer vision annotation platforms hosting subsea geospatial datasets.
  2. 2Trace 3D polygon boundaries around undersea cable trench berms in laser point cloud frames.
  3. 3Submit annotated point cloud tiles after passing quality control checks.
