Faced with a huge increase in demand, PCGS engaged Positronic to automate the image manipulation portion of their value chain. Creating purpose-built state of the art computer vision technology, Positronic built a software service that programmatically completes all of the image manipulation routines that were, until then, manual steps for human processors.
IRREGULAR-SHAPED CROPPING
Positronic generated novel mathematical routines to programmatically crop irregularly shaped coins.
ROTATE & CLASSIFY
Positronic employed data science to create a service that programmatically classifies as obverse & reverse of a set of coins, selects the best image for each, and rotates those coin images into an up-right position.
