We encounter it when Facebook automatically tags a friend in a photo, or when Google suggests images similar to one we're searching for.

They already did unlock computer vision, last year. Recognition accuracy went up from 6% to 94% when they had a human manually tag the objects that the vision neural nets got wrong. Basically, they gave AI a human mentor instead of throwing it out on the street to figure things out on its own.
So this application will certainly work, and crowdsourcing people to help will pose as little difficulty as crowdsourcing people to send spam. There is one hitch though: In a lot of countries it is not legal to station cameras. Though I must say I have considered putting up a webcam at the local snackbar myself. Perhaps a motion sensor is a good legal alternative.
