summary
FreeDPE Convenience Store Photo ID and Photo ID at Home" is a service that allows you to create a photo ID from a digital camera or smartphone photo.
The created certificate photo can be printed in conjunction with multi-copiers at FamilyMart and Lawson stores nationwide. The size of the photo can be selected in 1mm increments, so it can be used for a variety of purposes, including resumes, qualification exams, and passport photos for infants. In March 2019, we also released the AI Background Composite Option, which can automatically change the background of a photo to white or blue.
Background of development and issues addressed
Even babies need a passport to go abroad, so a proof photo is required.
Babies can be quite difficult to take, as they cry, cannot be taken to the store, and cannot be taken with a photo machine. Passport photos have a detailed standard for the size of the face, so it is difficult to process them yourself according to size. FreeDPE has made it easy to make baby passport photos with a smartphone and a convenience store.

BabyTech Editor's Comment.
I thought it was wonderful that the "face detection function" that automatically detects a person's face as a unique device, and the "angle adjustment function" that allows the user to adjust the angle of the face since it is difficult for babies to have their faces photographed straight, were optimized to satisfy an itchy spot. The need to take photo IDs will never disappear, and even if you can do it with a smartphone, you still need to print it out in the end, so personally, I was interested in the business side, as it is good at creating a system with a stable business model (lol).
