Case Study: A Leading Aquatic Ecological Services Firm achieves large-scale image categorization success with Flatworld Solutions

FWS provided image categorization services to a leading aquatic ecological services firm

A Leading Aquatic Ecological Services Firm, based in the United Kingdom, needed to outsource image categorization for ecological monitoring across marine and freshwater environments. The firm began with two 100-image trials before considering a much larger 2 million-image contract, but faced challenges with file transfer, blurred zoomed images, and the need to review 80 images per hour.

Flatworld Solutions assigned a project manager, quality analyst, and dedicated team, clarified requirements, set up a point of contact, moved file exchange to secure FTP, and used XnView to fix zoom-related blurring. Flatworld Solutions completed the first trial in under 24 hours, quickly delivered and approved the second trial, and won the full 2 million-image outsourcing contract after the client’s on-site due diligence visit.
