After years and years of captchas I still have no idea if I’m supposed to select all the poles for the traffic lights as well.

- BoorishBears 5y agoThose are signal/traffic/light poles: https://www.nycstreetdesign.info/lighting/signal-poles https://www.nycstreetdesign.info/lighting/signal-poles https://www.mainstreetmaterials.com/lighting-and-electrical/traffic-poles/ https://www.mainstreetmaterials.com/lighting-and-electrical/...
- Freak_NL 5y agoShould I click every tile that has a little bit of traffic light in it? Even with just the lamp housing that often means nearly all tiles. Somehow it doesn't seem to matter; it just works. Or not, and then I have no idea why. Captcha bonus level: try solving one of these from a public VPN.
- NieDzejkob 5y agoPerhaps that's on purpose? If a tile is being selected only sometimes, you can infer things from that.
- southerntofu 5y agoYeah, it's extra frustrating that you never know when clicking a tile that contains just a tiny bit of traffic light, whether the algorithm on the other side will see it too.
- xaedes 5y agoI think it is best to click the tile even if it only has a small part of the "object" in it. Other instances may have the same image but the grid is offset by a few pixels. At one point the tile does not contain the object at all and won't get any clicks. That way they could determine boundaries with higher resolution than the grid cell size.
- mongol 5y agoI have had the same doubt. But just now I realized, that if this this is for training som self-driving AI, it is probably only the actual lights that matter. I.e the red, yellow or green signal. The rest is noise.
