Managing performance of human review of media data
First Claim
1. A computer-implemented method comprising:
- obtaining, by one or more computing systems of a media target identifier system, information about a target identification effort to identify one or more indicated target objects in a plurality of images;
determining, by the one or more computing systems, an amount of memory to use on one or more client computing devices that will display at least one of the plurality of images;
generating, by the one or more computing systems, the plurality of images, including obtaining media data from one or more sources external to the media target identifier system about one or more areas of interest, and manipulating the media data to produce one or more indicated characteristics for each image of the plurality, wherein the one or more indicated characteristics includes a size of each image that is based at least in part on the determined amount of memory;
analyzing, by the one or more computing systems, at least some images of the plurality to prioritize one or more images of the plurality for the target identification effort; and
transmitting, by the one or more computing systems, the one or more images to the one or more client computing devices for display as part of identifying the one or more indicated target objects for the target identification effort.

Abstract
Techniques are described for facilitating performance of tasks involving human review of media data (e.g., images, audio clips, video clips, etc.), such as to identify one or more targets of interest. The media data review may be performed for various reasons, such as to assist in locating one or more target objects in a large geographical area (e.g., one or more missing people or vehicles) based on human review of large quantities of images that each correspond to a small subset of the geographical area. When one or more of the reviewed media data pieces are identified as being relevant, information about those identified media data pieces may be used in various ways. Furthermore, in at least some situations, the media data review may be part of a charitable effort that uses human volunteers to review the media data without monetary payment or other compensation.

9. A non-transitory computer-readable medium having stored contents that cause one or more computing systems to perform automated operations including at least:
-
obtaining, by the one or more computing systems, information about a target identification effort to identify one or more indicated target objects in a plurality of pieces of media; generating, by the one or more computing systems, the plurality of pieces of media, including obtaining media data from one or more external sources about one or more areas of interest, and manipulating the media data to produce one or more indicated characteristics for each piece of media data of the plurality, wherein the one or more indicated characteristics includes a size of each piece of media data that is based on at least one of a determined amount of memory or a determined transmission rate; analyzing, by the one or more computing systems, at least some pieces of media of the plurality to prioritize one or more pieces of media of the plurality for the target identification effort; and providing, by the one or more computing systems, the one or more pieces of media for display on one or more client computing devices as part of identifying the one or more indicated target objects for the target identification effort. - View Dependent Claims (10, 11, 12, 13, 14)

15. A system comprising:
-
one or more hardware processors; and one or more memories with stored instructions that, when executed by at least one of the one or more hardware processors, cause the system to perform automated operations that include at least; obtaining information about a target identification effort to identify one or more indicated target objects in a plurality of images; determining an amount of memory to use on one or more client computing devices that will display at least one of the plurality of images; generating, using at least one of an amount of memory or a transmission rate, the plurality of images, including obtaining media data from one or more external sources about one or more areas of interest, and manipulating the media data to produce one or more indicated characteristics for each image of the plurality, wherein the one or more indicated characteristics includes a size of each image that is based at least in part on the determined amount of memory; analyzing at least some images of the plurality to prioritize one or more images of the plurality for the target identification effort; and providing, to the one or more client computing devices and over one or more computer networks, the one or more images for use in identifying the one or more indicated target objects for the target identification effort. - View Dependent Claims (16, 17, 18, 19, 20)
