Research direction

No source files, tests, or entry points are identified in the issue. Start by reviewing the reported Overture dataset locations and images to characterize the truck-as-building false positives across highways, rest areas, and parking lots. Done would require an agreed detection change and verification that these examples are no longer misidentified.
