Abstract

In our previous research, we examined whether minimally trained crowd workers could find, categorize, and assess sidewalk accessibility problems using Google Street View (GSV) images. This poster paper presents a first step towards combining automated methods (e.g., machine visionbased curb ramp detectors) in concert with human computation to improve the overall scalability of our approach.
