What Is the Spotting App?
Effortless, Accurate Spotting
GotPhoto has partnered with SpotMyPhotos, the market leader in event photography technology, to create an end-to-end tagging workflow that empowers volume photographers to leverage facial recognition technology to efficiently and accurately associate subject images and subject data. At the workflow’s core is the Spotting App, an iOS-based app that allows you to effortlessly capture reference photos of your subjects and link them to the correct subject data.
Benefits of Photo Organizing Software with Facial Recognition Tagging
Efficiency
One and Done
With the Spotting App you only need to take a single reference photo of the subject. All pictures taken for the rest of the volume photo shoot will be tagged to the subject.
100% Paperless
The Spotting App’s workflow is 100% paperless, eliminating the hassle of managing QR or identification cards during the photo shoot.
No Manual Organizing and Tagging Post Shoot
Save precious hours after every shoot by automatically sorting your images into individual private galleries in GotPhoto with the facial recognition software.
Accuracy
World-Class Algorithms
Powered by SpotMyPhotos, the photo facial recognition processes quickly and correctly captures and sorts subject images to the correct reference photo.
Real-Time Data Management
Confidently add and update data directly in the app during the photo shoot, eliminating post-shoot data steps.
Multiple Outfits? No Problem
Capturing sports, dance, and other types of subjects multiple times in multiple outfits is no challenge for the Spotting App. All the subjects’ images will be properly sorted into private and secure galleries.
Seamlessly Syncs with GotPhoto
By leveraging metadata, images exported from SpotMyPhotos into GotPhoto automatically activate with all images sorted into the subject’s gallery.
GotPhoto + SpotMyPhotos Facial Recognition Software
How It Works
1. SET UP AND SYNC YOUR JOB: Create your photo job in GotPhoto and upload a names list. In your SpotMyPhotos account, import the GotPhoto job to sync your names list to SpotMyPhoto.
2. SPOT YOUR SUBJECTS: Using the SpotMyPhotos iOS app, take a reference photo of each subject and associate that photo to their subject data. Then photograph the subject as normal. And the best part? If they come back to the camera again, you don’t need to tag them again. They have already been spotted with the face identification software!
3. MANAGE YOUR DATA: Need to update or add subject data during picture day? Easy! Adding or updating subject data in the app automatically syncs to GotPhoto, eliminating any need for post-shoot data updates.
4. UPLOAD YOUR PHOTOS: When you are ready to load your images into GotPhoto, simply upload your images into your SpotMyPhotos account. The images will automatically be identified and sorted, and can be easily exported directly into your GotPhoto job, ready for sale.
