Hello users! I have an easy task that anyone on here can do in just a few minutes (or less). If you do it right, I will pay you $1 via PayPal. You can even do it more than once if you would like to. However, you must complete the job correctly, or it's not good enough. The background: I'm working with some people to improve some machine vision technology, which needs to be tested thoroughly on dozens of different types of homes. What this means is, we require pictures of houses, like public homes. No apartments, no private property or business buildings. These pictures will be added to a # and every house will be thrown in together so there is no personal information being used here. They will not end up online anywhere. The Job: The job is very simple. All you need is access to a good camera (like your phone, if it's less than 4 years old). Your job is to take several pictures of your house exterior from the outside. Do not use any sophisticated expensive technology for this, your smart phone or a regular camera is ideal. You will need about 20 pictures, to make sure you capture the entire exterior. The easiest way would be to take a picture of the front, walk a few steps to the side, take a picture, few more steps, etc. until you have captured the exterior in a circle. Exactly measuring the distance between each picture is not necessary but be educated with your guess so that you cover the entire perimeter evenly with 18-20 pictures (minimum). Do not include the street name, house number, people's pictures, cars, etc. No personal information is needed, we just want the OUTSIDE of the house. Again, nothing inside either. Make sure the house is well lit (don't do it at night time), and if one area is shaded, that's fine. Don't bother with flash. Here is one example below of how the pictures would look. When a side is not able to be captured completely, you have to take multiple pictures, but this is only if a significant area cannot be caught. In the pictures below, you will see that the first one captures the side with 2 separate pictures. A house with a lot of smushed sides may require 30+ images, but use common sense. The more pictures though, the better. So err on the side of being too excessive if anything. The following would count as 1 of the 18-20 pictures. Just make sure to get the whole side in 2-3 pictures if it's not visible in 1 picture. When you have your 20 or so pictures ready, please email them to this address, and write your playerup username or Paypal address in the email subject line. Once we confirm it will work, you'll get paid. I will try to make it as fast as possible, and no one will be skipped. [email protected] I am offering this to any who want to do it. We still need a lot of houses, so please take advantage if you could use a quick buck. Feel free to do more houses for extra. However, make sure you get permission from the homeowner to be on their property. To get pictures of the back and sides, you'll have to be in the backyard and that is illegal if you don't ask them first. As a result, it's an easy $1 for you to do your own house and extra for any ambitious individuals who would like to go out and do more. In case you are worried about something, the images will not be put anywhere online or used anywhere publicly. It is merely for the # that is used for our testing. Again, no personal information will be needed nor used, and if you leave some in, it will most likely get blurred out. Feel free to ask me questions, but it should be straightforward. This is open for any who are interested, until we have enough. Note: it seems I cannot post links still, so I do not know how to show the images for examples. Please just wait until I am able to show the images and share the email before you go and get the pictures taken. If you would like to start immediately, please PM me and I can show you the images and where to send your set of pictures.
