What is it about?
Spatial crowdsourcing (SC) effectively engages workers (the crowd) to resolve tasks that cannot be fully resolved by automatic computer-based approaches. These tasks are generally spatial in nature and often require physical on-location operations. The wide spread of GPS-enabled smartphones have enabled the emergence of different SC applications like TaskRabbit, Gigwalk, etc., and propelled the research in SC. Given the vast volume of proposed SC techniques for different application scenarios, there is a need to survey, analyze, and organize the existing SC research to help researchers in the area. This paper provides a comprehensive overview of current SC research and suggests promising future research directions.
