Shape and Silhouette Optimization

Face recognition systems perform better when objects have a clear silhouette. That means medal shape matters as much as surface design.

Best practices include:

  • Using recognizable outlines (circle, shield, custom sport shape)
  • Avoiding overly thin or fragmented edges
  • Keeping symmetry or balanced asymmetry
  • Ensuring ribbon does not hide the medal shape

For running medals, event organizers often choose bold shapes like shields or stadium-inspired outlines because they are easier to detect in crowd shots.
