Image Tagging

Increasing, methods are needed to sort, categorize, and tag large collections of images.  Automatic algorithms can accomplish part of the job, but, with images, there is no substitute for human input – if for nothing other than verification purposes.  While such tasks do not require literacy, they can require a massive amount of human effort to be effective.  txteagle users with WAP-enabled phones can participate in these kinds of activities, generating meta-data to be used to improve, verify, and augment automatic image-processing schemes.
