Our new technology allows customers on World of Wallpaper to visualise how a potential wallpaper design will look in their room before they buy it.
At Argofield, we are constantly trying to improve things for our customers. This new cutting edge technology uses computer vision algorithms which recognise and digitise photographed objects and then overlay new finishing materials onto flat surfaces in photorealistic quality. Simultaneously, it preserves the perspective, shades, and scale of photographed objects and finishing materials.
How Does it Work?
There is no need for our customers to install an app or download any software to use it. In fact, all they are required to do is to press a button on the wallpaper’s page, and it will then take them to a new tab where they can either upload an image of their own room or use one of the existing sample images that are provided.
The software has a neural network which learns to “see” and recognise various types of interiors. It becomes capable of identifying and separating the objects from the walls and floors. The process of machine learning is ongoing and therefore the neural network is constantly improving.
The result is that the customer can see exactly how their chosen wallpaper will look in any room that they upload.
How Do I Use It?
1. Take a picture with your phone or tablet, or select one of our room shots if on a PC or laptop
2. Choose a pattern
3. Switch patterns in the blink of an eye
4. Save or share your photo on social media
How Accurate is this Tool?
This tool is highly accurate, providing 95% precision for the 90% of the most common interiors. However, we cannot guarantee that it will be 100% every time, especially if you have an atypical interior. For example, if it contains medieval stained glass windows. This is because if there are images that have never been seen on the neutral network before, it may not separate it from the walls correctly. Nevertheless, 9 out of 10 uploaded photos should produce an accurate result that is photorealistic enough for a customer to see that product as it would look in their home.
This fantastic piece of software help be highly useful for our customers as they will now be able to make an informed and confident choice. Therefore, it is likely to encourage a higher level of overall customer satisfaction.
