1. Choosing the right angle and distance
ScanRacer performs best with photos that clearly show the car's silhouette and distinctive details. Three-quarter front or rear angles are ideal as they reveal the general shape and key elements like headlights, grille, or wheels. Avoid shots that are too distant or only side profiles, which can reduce recognition accuracy.
2. Importance of lighting and sharpness
Good natural light is recommended to avoid harsh shadows or reflections that may disrupt analysis. Blurry photos or nighttime shots without sufficient lighting greatly limit ScanRacer's ability to identify the brand and model. Use a smartphone or camera with autofocus and stabilization to ensure a sharp image.
3. Practical limits and special cases
ScanRacer covers over 740 brands and 31,000 models, but some rare variants or customized cars might not be recognized. Photos of heavily modified or partially covered cars (e.g., under a tarp) also pose challenges. Additionally, images with extreme angles or intense reflections may cause errors or approximate results.
4. Concrete examples of well-recognized photos
Here are some examples of photos published on ScanRacer that achieved good recognition rates:
- Mazda RX-7 (1992): clear photo at a three-quarter front angle with good lighting
- Nissan GT-R Base (2007): sharp shot showing grille and headlights
- Toyota Supra (1993): angle revealing the characteristic hood shape
- Porsche 911 GT3 Touring (2022): recent image with visible details
- Nissan Skyline Coupé (1998): well-framed and sharp photo
These examples highlight the importance of good composition and sufficient image quality.
