SYSTEMS AND METHODS FOR PROCESSING CROWD-SOURCED MULTIMEDIA ITEMS

摘要

Systems, methods, and computer applications and media for gathering, categorizing, sorting, managing, reviewing and organizing large quantities of multimedia items across space and time and using crowd-sourcing resources are described. Various implementations may enable either public or private (e.g., internal to an organization) crowdsourcing of multimedia item gathering and analysis, including the gathering, analysis, lead-searching, and classification of digital still images and digital videos. Various implementations may allow a user, such as a law enforcement investigator, to consolidate all of the available multimedia items into one system, and quickly gather, sort, organize, and display the multimedia items based on location, time, content, or other parameters. Moreover, an investigator may be able to create crowd source tasks as he works with the multimedia items and utilize crowd source resources when he needs help.
