Recognition

Run recognition and name, share or ignore people on the go.

You can run recognition and tidy up the people it finds right from your phone. Deeper corrections (teams, vehicles, numbers) stay on the web — the app links you there when needed.

Running recognition

If an album has any recognition pipeline enabled, its detail header shows a Recognize button. Tap it to start a run; the button reads Running… and a progress strip shows the stage:

Detecting faces… → Grouping faces… → Matching athletes… → Done

You can leave the screen — it keeps running server-side.

The People strip

Recognised faces are grouped into clusters, shown in the People strip. Each card has a thumbnail, a name (or Person 2 if unnamed), a photo count, and a green seal once it's been identified. Tap a cluster to open it.

Working with a face cluster

In a face cluster you can:

Name / Change — give the person a name (or update it).
Share — generate a QR/link for just that person's photos.
Ignore — mark the cluster as a bystander so it drops out of the people list.

The cluster's photos appear in a grid below; tap any to view full-screen.

Other recognition types

Clusters for numbers (bib/jersey/car/sail), teams/kits, vehicles and helmets are view-only on iOS — they show their kind, any team livery, and an Edit on web link. Use the web dashboard to rename, set-team, merge or reassign those.

Tagging a single photo

From a photo's lightbox, the Tag button lets you add that one photo to a cluster manually — handy when recognition missed a shot. Only the album's enabled recognition types show up there.
