Photo Acquisition

Facial image acquisition is the basis of computer vision research. The goal of the acquisition process is to obtain images that meet the requirements of image processing and analysis. Pixel Solutions has more than ten years of experience in image capture technology. We also have extensive practice in constructing standardized environments, which include setting up acquisition equipment and lighting and selecting lenses and poses for subjects for different types of photo IDs.
