Recent results show that crowdsourcing is an efficient tool for annotating large datasets. Geo-Wiki is an example of successful citizen science projects. The goal of Geo-Wiki project is to improve a global land cover map by applying crowdsourcing for image recognition. In our research, we investigate methods for increasing reliability of data collected during The Cropland Capture Game (Geo-Wiki). In this regard, we performed analysis of all main steps of the crowdsourcing campaign: image processing and aggregation of collected votes. During the research, we used methods of Computer Vision and Machine Learning. This allowed us to increase accuracy of the aggregated votes from 76% to 87%.
