Model of crowdsorce enviromental application based on mobile photos

摘要

Smartphones have become easy affordable and powerful tool for sharing information among people. Using applications, cameras, internet connectivity, and GPS location ability, smartphones can be used for gathering informationudfrom different sources. Sources can even be ordinary people from different places, but obtained knowledge can be helpful even to scientists in process of finding most appropriate solution of some particular problems, where data from different places is crucial. In this paper we present our model of interactive, fun and easy to use application that uses geo tag photos taken from mobiles to identify the changes of environment and to increase the environmental awareness among people. We also give a brief review of existing applications that have something in common with our proposed model and present our idea for creating a “timeline”.
