Farming out GIS Work Via Amazon
Brady at O’Reilly Radar posted a GIS use of Amazon’s Mechanical Turk. Mechnical Turk is a tool by which those who want humans to do work humans are good at but computers are lousy at to offer up those jobs to humans. In this case, Geospatial Vision is paying “turkers” to identify: “man-holes, drainage, pedestrian crossing, bollards, and yellow lines” in images using a Flash app.
I point this out because I can’t seem to get the O’Reilly feed into “Other Points” and O’Reilly Radar is not in Planet Geospatial.
