Abstract
The present invention provides systems and methods for providing error correction and management in a mobile-based crowdsourcing platform, specifically a platform providing geolocation services. More specifically, the system of the present invention includes a plurality of remote mobile devices configured to communicate and exchange data with a cloud-based service, such as a crowdsourcing platform. The crowdsourcing platform generally provides a geolocation service based on the crowdsourcing, or polling, of users of the mobile devices so as to determine location and movement of the users within a specific environment. The system is further configured to automatically render a floor plan or layout of a location based on the user data. The system is further configured to recognize and recalibrate data errors during the collection and aggregation of the crowd-sourced data.
