Abstract
Methods and systems for active image tagging are usable to build large datasets of tagged images by combining manual tagging by a user and automatic tagging by a computing device based on the manual tagging. Such tags may be used to effectively sort, organize, link, and search for images within large datasets of images. Additionally, the active image tagging may be configured to utilize a tagging game where multiple users manually tag images by playing a game on a computing device.
