GalleryID. What is it?
GalleryID is a sports photography platform for photographers and athletic departments. Upload your roster, scope it to a gallery, and GalleryID MatchID identifies athletes automatically using a multi-layer AI approach combining face matching with team and event identification.
- •Automatic athlete identification via MatchID multi-layer AI (face matching + team and event identification)
- •Organize photos into galleries and folders
- •Search photos by athlete name across all events
- •Share galleries with teams, parents, and media
- •Export to FTP or download with names written into file metadata
How MatchID Works
GalleryID MatchID is how athletes get identified in your photos. It works by comparing faces in uploaded photos against reference headshots in your roster. Without a roster scoped to your gallery, face matching won't run and person search returns no results by default. Here's the workflow:
- 1
Add athletes with reference headshots
Go to People and add athletes to your roster. Each athlete needs at least one clear headshot, this is the reference photo that MatchID uses to recognize them. The more athletes you index, the more names you'll get back on your uploads. - 2
Scope the roster to your gallery
Open your gallery and go to Gallery Settings → Roster. Select the roster(s) you want to match against. This tells GalleryID which athletes to look for in photos uploaded to this gallery. A gallery with no roster scoped will skip face matching entirely. - 3
Upload your photos
Drag and drop your game or event photos into the gallery. As photos upload, MatchID runs automatically, comparing detected faces against the headshots in your scoped roster. Jersey number OCR runs in parallel as a second matching method. - 4
Review matches in Gallery Browser
Open the gallery in Browser to see results. Matched athletes show their name on each photo. Low-confidence matches are flagged for your review, approve or reject with a click. Your review is what makes the final tag accurate.
