Overlapping regions in image tile croppings facilitate a global KDE for a universal comparison of saliency across the entire data set. Regions of highest KDE likelihood (based on user inputs) are highlighted. <i>Right</i> - Aerial photography and ground exploration of the location identified by crowd reveals a circular “khirigsuur” burial mound with Bronze Age <a href="http://www.plosone.org/article/info:doi/10.1371/journal.pone.0114046#pone.0114046-Allard1" target="_blank">[24]</a>, <a href="http://www.plosone.org/article/info:doi/10.1371/journal.pone.0114046#pone.0114046-JacobsonTepfer1" target="_blank">[25]</a> characteristics.
