Math

Geophysical parameter data, measured or collected by other means than by the instrument itself, used as correlative or calibration data for that instrument data. It includes data taken on the ground or in the atmosphere. Ground truth data are another measurement of the phenomenon of interest; they are not necessarily more "true" or more accurate than the instrument data. (references)

Specialty Definition: Ground truth

(From Wikipedia, the free Encyclopedia)

In cartography and analysis of aerial photographs and satellite imagery, the ground truth is the facts that are found when a location is field checked -- that is, when people actually visit the location on foot.

Aerial photographs, satellite images, and maps can be deceiving, while the ground truth is immutable.
