Vela Argos

Sponsor logo detection at broadcast frame rate.

Vela Argos detects sponsor logos in live broadcast video at the resolution sponsorship valuation requires — frame-by-frame, brand-by-brand, with confidence and bounding-box geometry feeding valuation models. Detect, measure, report within hours, and verify with interactive proof.

Who it's for

For the people who value the exposure.

Sponsorship / Rights-Holder

Frame-accurate exposure.

Exposure measured to the frame for valuation — defensible against advertiser scrutiny.

Brand / Sponsor

Verified against the contract.

Verified exposure against contractual obligations, with proof-of-performance frame captures.

Sponsorship Sales

A defensible inventory.

A brand inventory that stands up to scrutiny — every claim backed by visual proof.

What it is

Detect. Measure. Report. Verify.

Vela Argos detects, tracks and verifies sponsor and brand logos in live and recorded video — frame-accurate exposure data, duration and prominence measurement, estimated media value, and contractual-compliance reporting at scale. Neural-network detection localizes every logo across the full frame at broadcast frame rate, handling multiple simultaneous logos, partial occlusion and animated tracking, against a continuously enriched logo library.

Each detection carries a bounding box, confidence and frame-accurate timestamp; event synthesis assembles them into exposures with prominence scoring and screen-coverage measurement. An estimated-media-value engine applies configurable rate tables, aggregating at event, season, league and sponsor — season cumulative against contracted minimums — and the interactive Verification Player replays every detection with on-canvas bounding boxes for auditable proof.

Deployment & integrations

On-prem or cloud, GPU-accelerated.

Deployment

Containerized microservices that scale horizontally by adding GPU nodes.

Containerized — Docker / Kubernetes, on-premises or cloud.
GPU-accelerated inference — CUDA; ~30 FPS per worker.
7-service reference stack — web, API, PostgreSQL, Redis queue, object store, GPU worker, identity.
Horizontal scale — add GPU nodes for more concurrent feeds.

Integrations

Delivers into rights, CRM and BI systems.

REST API — rights-management, CRM, BI/reporting.
Export — PDF, CSV, API.
Ingest — SDI/IP, HLS/DASH/CMAF/OTT/FAST/xVOD, cable/sat/PPV, file.
Roadmap — live HLS monitoring, billing integration, SAML SSO.
How it works

Detect. Measure. Verify.

Vela Argos moves from raw video to auditable proof — the Verification Player is where a valuation becomes defensible.

Detect

Every logo, every frame

Full-frame detection at broadcast frame rate.

Measure

Exposure & value

Prominence, coverage and estimated media value.

Verify

Interactive proof

Frame-by-frame, on-canvas, auditable.

Detection accuracy

Validated on the hardest content.

Frame-accurate detection on live broadcast content — among the most demanding environments for logo detection.
