How Agencia Embraced AI to Automate 360° Photo Enhancement

Use case:
Enhancement of 360 photos via API
Industry:
360° VR imaging technologies
Overview. Agencia specializes in 360° solutions, focusing on Japan’s real estate and automotive markets. The company’s platforms help customers easily create, edit and post 3D visuals.

Challenge. To produce 360 photos, Agencia processes images taken and uploaded by customers. Since user-generated content varies in quality, it often requires additional post-processing.

For instance, to enhance colors and fix lighting, the company’s employees used to manually edit photos with tools like OpenCV. This approach was inefficient at large scale.

Serving 1500+ companies in Japan, Agencia needed a reliable image enhancement solution that could process thousands of photos per day at high speed and deliver consistent results.

Goals. With high volumes and variation in the quality of photos provided by customers, Agencia was looking for a solution that could:

Improve image quality: 
fix colors and exposure to deliver vivid and well-lit 360 photos to the customers.

Replace manual editing with an automated solution to render image preparation fast and cost-efficient. 

Solution. After testing and comparing several AI image processing solutions, Agencia decided to go with Claid.

"We used several AI platforms from Brazil to India, but what we liked the most was the promptness in attendance and the quality of Claid’s services.”

Results. When customers upload photos to the platform, Agencia sends these photos to Claid via API.

Claid automatically improves their quality, corrects colors and exposure and sends improved images back to Agencia’s servers.

Client’s Feedback

“With the API integration with Claid, we solved the big problem of improving the quality of our customers’ images automatically, without any need for parameter changes. Until then we were doing all this more or less manually using OpenCV.


With Claid we were able to achieve higher productivity and time savings, while improving the product quality.”

Exceeding customer expectations with immersive panoramic photos

With Claid, Agencia was able to improve the quality of their key product—3D images. Claid’s neural networks were trained to enhance user-generated content, including real estate pictures. Now, this helps Agencia create beautiful 360° car photos and property virtual tours.

No need to build an in-house solution. Using Claid allowed Agencia to save time and money on building and running in-house ML networks.

The cost of developing and maintaining an AI platform with GPU servers is much higher than what you would spend on Claid’s services. And above all, it would be very difficult to match the quality of their algorithms.
