Outline of Final Research Achievements

We developed basic technology for media content generation using micro task type crowdsourcing. Human computation based on micro task type crowdsourcing is attracting attention as a technology that can solve problems that could not be solved by computers. However, the main application was centered on human beings to "understand" the meaning of information such as natural language processing and image recognition. In this research, unlike such conventional research, we studied how to use this technology for "media generation" such as image editing and 3D modeling. Specifically, research and development were conducted on methods of dividing task contents, methods of integrating work results, etc., for realizing advanced content generation processing from simple input by unspecified large number of non-experts.
