What was the scope of their involvement?
Genium works on both the 3D and 2D side of our services. For 3D, they clean up the scans to make sure they don’t have any foreign artifacts in them. We want to make sure the final deliverable is nice and professional, so Genium’s 3D computer visual engineer manages that task.
On the 2D side, they enhance the validation algorithms to ensure the measurements are correct. For example, if someone does a 3D scan with a big shirt, we have to make sure the person’s actual waist and not the outline of the shirt is measured. Genium uses TensorFlow and ImageNet to improve the machine learning on results and image data from the scans.
What is the team composition?
We work with a manager and two computer vision engineers.
How did you come to work with Genium?
We didn’t necessarily want to hire someone in-house or find a solo freelancer online, so we began looking at firms that could provide the resources we needed. Genium fit our skill and budget requirements, so we hired them. It was an easy way to flexibly expand our team for a long-term engagement.
What is the status of this engagement?
We partnered in August 2018, and the work is ongoing.
Genium has excellent communication skills, maintaining constant contact and meeting project goals. Although their work is highly technical, they explain it in simple terms that maximize the partnership. Unlike many other firms, they’re honest and proactive, wanting to do the best work possible.
