Abstract
A system and processes provide a solution to object identification in images using a game environment to confirm the presence (or absence) of suspected points of interest in the real-world. A game environment uses data gathered by real-world sensors to replicate a real-world location as a gaming environment. Unconfirmed suspected points of interest (locations and/or objects) may be placed into the game environment. Various types of game play may be used to have players interact with the game environment. The actions by players may confirm whether a suspected point of interest is actually present in the real-world. Confirmation data of the presence of points of interest may be forwarded to an external database which may update a map file based on the data provided by player interaction in the game.
