Before You Start Device Capture 

1- Make sure the lens is clean, and free of fingerprints, sweat, body fat, makeup, etc.

2- If you use a protective cover on your device, make sure that it is not obstructing the lens.

Equipment 

1- Arrange the products in the equipment before starting the capture.

2- Remove any objects that may hinder the view of the equipment.

3- In captures for the execution of planograms of refrigerators and freezers, open the door of the  equipment to perform the capture; The doors have a reflection and can impair the recognition of  the products.

During Capture 

1- Find the best positioning for a frontal view of the equipment to be captured. 

2- Adjust the position of the phone, using the lines of the shelf as a guide.

3- Distance from the equipment: the larger the field to be captured, the farther you should be  from the equipment. The average recommended distance for most equipment is about 1.5m. When there is no room for distancing, or when the distance of the capture may compromise the  identification of objects, use the multi-photo option. With this feature, it is possible to add as  many photos as necessary, until the complete image of the equipment is obtained.  Don't forget to look at the cut-off point for adding each image. 

4- In cases of low lighting, activate the flash button before capturing.

5- Hold the device firmly to prevent images from being blurry or out of focus. 

6- Avoid the use of zoom: This feature enlarges the image digitally, resulting in a loss of image  quality. To capture small-sized equipment, physically approach until the equipment fills the  capture screen. 

After the Capture 

1- Cropping captured images: In images that have other equipment with visible products, it is  necessary to make cutting adjustments, prioritizing the display of the equipment containing the  products provided for in the planogram. 

The processing of images containing object information, which is not being  requested in the planogram, can interfere with the results.
