Recognize when there are foreground blue clusters producing an incorrect distance estimate. This could be semi-automated by looking at the density of blue stars inside the contour and removing any regions that are significant (high) outliers. Tricky to get right...

For instance, G015.03 shows a strong dichotomy between the starless dark cloud and the region with bright young blue stars. The later region influences the distance determination of this cloud and puts it at a distance much greater than the maser parallax.
