How to choose between bib, face and sponsor recognition

MyRun has three independent recognition types. You can enable any combination per album.

The three types

1. Bib recognition reads the race numbers visible in each photo. Participants then find their photos by typing their bib number. Works without special 2D codes on the bibs; pair it with a valid BIB list (see the Events guides) for the cleanest results.
2. Face recognition indexes faces so participants can find themselves by uploading a selfie, no bib needed. Great for photos where the bib is hidden, and for event types without bibs at all.
3. Sponsor recognition (Beta) detects your event's sponsor logos across the photos. It doesn't power a participant search: it produces a visibility report you can show your sponsors.

How to decide

• Races with bibs: enable bib + face together; they complement each other (bib hidden in one shot, face visible in another).
• Corporate events, festivals (event type Other): enable face recognition; bib detection isn't available for this type.
• Events with paying sponsors: add sponsor recognition on your key albums and share the visibility report.

Good to know

• Each enabled type consumes recognition capacity for that album's photos; sponsor recognition is currently included in recognition usage and not billed separately (Beta).
• You can enable a type later: MyRun tags the album's existing photos when you switch it on.
