AI Player Identification

A 7-signal identification pipeline that fuses multiple evidence sources for accurate player identification. Face recognition uses a multi-model ensemble with weighted voting. Jersey number detection combines four independent sources — a deep learning digit reader, object detector, vision-based text recognition, and pose estimation — to read numbers from any angle. Skin tone consistency verification, play-by-play integration, and session-level player tracking provide additional corroboration, with automatic escalation to Premium analysis when confidence is low.

Workflow

Hot Folder Monitoring

Configure watch folders in Settings and let the app auto-detect new images as they arrive during the game. Point it at your camera's card folder or tethered capture directory and start processing photos in real time — not after the final whistle.

Also supports JPG, JPEG, PNG, and TIFF

Performance

Batch Processing

Images are automatically batched in groups of up to 20, processing continuously as photos arrive from your hot folder. No need to wait until the game is over — identification and captioning happen in the background while you keep shooting.

Wire-Ready

Wire Service Caption Formatting

Generate captions in the exact format required by major wire services. Choose from AP, Getty, or Imagn styles — or build your own custom template. Each built-in style follows the specific conventions and field requirements of that service, so your captions are wire-ready the moment they're written.

Metadata

Direct IPTC/XMP Metadata Writing
