Services · Field collection
Shelf imagery from Mekong Delta corner shops, Hanoi street signage, handwritten receipts from one specific province — none of it exists until someone goes and captures it. We dispatch tasks to exactly where you need them, with constraints tight enough that what comes back is usable.
You specify provinces, venue types, time windows and volume. The system pushes tasks to contributors in those areas — not everyone receives every task.

Data type, volume, areas, quality constraints and delivery format. You get a quote with concrete dates, not an estimate.
Tasks go to contributors in the right areas with specific instructions — what to photograph, where to stand, what to avoid.
Every submission passes format checks, content matching against the brief, coordinate verification and deduplication. Failures are blocked at the door and never enter the archive.
As images arrive, the annotation team processes them. You receive labeled data with a quality report — not a pile of raw files and a problem.
The real risk in crowd collection is people photographing something just to get paid. We handle that with mechanisms that run automatically on every submission, not with trust.
Every submission carries GPS coordinates. When a brief requires surveying multiple locations, the system enforces a radius rule — another shot from where you just stood is rejected, forcing contributors to move to a new site.
Images are matched against the task instructions at intake — not just the title, but the conditions you wrote. 'Receipt dated within 30 days', 'photographed directly, not off a screen' are conditions a machine can check.
Every file gets a hash from its contents. Re-submitting the same image — renamed, or from a different account — is recognised and refused.
Submitting faster than it would take to actually travel and shoot is a signature of automation. Those cases are blocked or routed to human review.
Data type, areas, volume and timeline. If collection is not feasible within your budget, we will say so rather than take the job and deliver something unusable.
