Techniques are described for facilitating performance of tasks involving human review of media data (e.g., images, audio clips, video clips, etc.), such as to identify one or more targets of interest. The media data review may be performed for various reasons, such as to assist in locating one or more target objects in a large geographical area (e.g., one or more missing people or vehicles) based on human review of large quantities of images that each correspond to a small subset of the geographical area. When one or more of the reviewed media data pieces are identified as being relevant, information about those identified media data pieces may be used in various ways. Furthermore, in at least some situations, the media data review may be part of a charitable effort that uses human volunteers to review the media data without monetary payment or other compensation.
