  • Abstract
    Photocaching, an online mobile game, is a system to collect and improve position of images at the same time. It is based on the human computation concept which means everyone involved is contributing, improving and deciding the results. We developed a system to rate the descriptiveness of images as well as some methods to improve position. Analysis on data collected from the game so far verified the system and methods.
