Retail, Captured.
Our image dataset has been captured across 15 years, across multiple countries, and in dozens of major retailers.
Our dataset is a fully rights managed dataset designed to support Artificial Intelligence (AI), Machine Learning (ML), Computer Vision and retail strategy teams with real world visual data.
Our images are not scraped from the web, nothing is synthetic either, they’re all original images that we have captured.
All of our images are expert captured, store level imagery documenting a huge varied image dataset.
Whether it’s in terms of depth, quality or variation, there is nothing more comprehensive than our expert led image dataset.
