Crowd Sourcing

Because it is so simple to use, the Smart Measurement System can be deployed with non-expert users to generate a high-volume data on a daily basis. Crowd sourcing allows Rapid Biometric to assemble field-capable users to collect data over large areas in a small amount of time. With minimal training, guided by on-device navigation, users comb an entire block in a single day. The crowd sourcing model reduces overall cost by employing non-exerts and by eliminating redundant travel to the measurement site.

Users collect data as high-resolution photos which are post-processed over night on a remote server. This gives our customers immediate access to timely biometric estimates where latency is of concern, such as for high-value timberland acquisition.
