The AI image analysis you provided was incredibly valuable [...] let's begin scoping out the next global phase.

How It Works

Five steps from raw respondent images to export-ready coded data.

1

Upload

Drag and drop a ZIP of respondent images. PixelCoder extracts, normalizes, and deduplicates automatically.

2

Configure

Assign a questionnaire script to the batch. Scripts define exactly what questions the AI answers per image.

3

Run

Kick off an analysis job. GPU-accelerated processing handles thousands of images per hour.

4

QC

Review flagged or low-confidence results in the built-in QC interface. Accept, reject, or re-code.

5

Export

Download structured TSV with one row per image, respondent ID included. Ready for your analytics platform.

Built for Panels and Surveys

PixelCoder integrates natively with survey and panel infrastructure.

Respondent ID Matching

Images automatically linked to respondent IDs from filenames or folder structure. Joins cleanly to your survey data.

Batch Processing

Upload a full panel wave as a single ZIP. PixelCoder handles extraction, conversion, deduplication, and analysis.

Structured Exports

Results as TSV/CSV, ready to merge with survey response data or load into your analytics platform.

Multi-Project Support

Manage separate studies, clients, or waves as independent projects with their own images, jobs, and exports.

Duplicate Detection

Per-upload SHA-256 deduplication prevents the same image being coded twice in a wave.

Inline QC Workflow

Side-by-side image and AI result view with accept/reject controls. Full job history per upload.

What It Detects

PixelCoder identifies and codes objects across any respondent-submitted image.

Use Cases

From pantry audits to retail shelves — consistent image coding at scale.

Beauty & Personal Care

"Snap a shelfie of your skincare." Surface high-frequency products and routines, map multi-brand mixing behavior, and highlight aspirational vs functional items.

Pantry & Cabinet Audits

"Show us your pantry." Analyze shelf-share vs private label, detect co-location patterns (cereal + coffee), and gauge optimal pack size by storage constraints.

Food & Beverage

"Show us your meal." Identify meals, ingredients, and setting in food prep and consumption photos. Track flavor loyalty and co-consumed items across occasions.

Fridge Inventory Tracking

"Open your fridge and take a photo." Identify share of fridge by product type, map co-consumed items, and report on fridge capacity and features.

Appliance Analysis

"Photo your kitchen counter." Map real-world appliance combinations, measure countertop share of space, and identify brand adjacencies for bundle strategies.

Fashion & Occasion

Classify outfits, occasions, and style attributes from respondent-submitted images at scale. Track trend adoption across demographics.

Laundry & Household

"Share your laundry station." Detect brand trio preferences (detergent, scent, softener), track jumbo vs compact pack adoption, and identify scent layering rituals.

Toys & Children's Products

"Show your toy storage area." Identify popular toy categories and brand dominance, track educational vs entertainment ratios, and detect organization systems.

Workout & Recovery

"Photograph your workout zone." Visualize recovery routines and gear clustering, track usage density of high-end devices, and identify space-saving solutions.

Photo Diaries

Code themes, behaviors, and contexts across diary entries with consistent AI analysis. Open-ended visual coding against custom questionnaire scripts.

Pet Products & Care

"Show us your pet's feeding area." Identify food brands, treat types, and accessory preferences. Track pack sizes, feeding setups, and multi-pet household patterns.

Retail Shelf Intelligence

"Photograph the shelf display." Measure share of shelf and facings, detect out-of-stock, analyze promotional displays, and score competitive placement.
