Abstract
A crowdsourced search and locate platform, comprising an application server and a client interface application. The application server: receives connections from crowdsourcing participants; navigates a first crowdsourcing participant to a specific geospatial location; sends an image corresponding to the geospatial location to the first crowdsourcing participant; receives tagging data from the first crowdsourcing participant, the tagging data corresponding to a plurality of objects and locations identified by the first crowdsourcing participant. The client interface application: displays an image of a location; displays icons corresponding to objects that may be tagged; displays a navigation minimap adapted to allow a user to navigate; and upon the user's selecting a cursor location at which to place a new tag corresponding to a specific object type, displays a shape surrounding the cursor location, the effective radius of which is configurable and is adapted to define a region about the cursor location within which other tags by other users are considered to be in agreement with the new tag.
