Description
Ellipsis Earth deployed camera-based machine-vision surveys to provide objective before/after litter density and composition data for Hubbub's Ballot Bin and Big Ballot Bin interventions in the UK, serving as the measurement layer that validated whether those interventions reduced litter.
Lessons learned
- Machine-vision mapping served as the objective measurement layer behind headline intervention results (Ballot Bin, Big Ballot Bin), enabling credible before/after comparisons that self-reported or manual counts could not have provided.
