    Brand Logo Detection in Video

    Detect brand logos and trademarks in video using SigLIP 768d embeddings and YOLOv8x detection. Style-invariant matching across 3,000+ brands. Logo detection API for pre-publication brand safety.

    Who It's For

    Brand safety teams, ad agencies, and content distributors managing video libraries with potential trademark exposure

    Problem Solved

    Unauthorized brand logos in published content trigger trademark claims and platform demonetization. Logos appear rotated, scaled, and stylized — rule-based matching fails. With 3,000+ brands to track, manual frame-by-frame review is impossible.

    Why Mixpeek

    SigLIP 768d embeddings provide style-invariant matching — logos detected regardless of rotation, scale, color, or artistic modification. YOLOv8x handles detection at sub-500ms per frame. Combined pipeline tracks 3,000+ brands simultaneously.

    Overview

    Brand logo detection catches unauthorized trademark appearances in video content before publication. The pipeline uses SigLIP 768d embeddings and YOLOv8x detection to scan every frame for brand marks — including logos on clothing, product placements, background signage, and digitally altered marks.

    Challenges This Solves

    Logos appear rotated, scaled, and stylized

    Logos appear rotated, partially hidden behind objects, in different colors, or artistically modified. Rule-based matching and perceptual hashing fail on these variations.

    Impact: Standard detection misses 20-30% of modified or obscured logos

    Background logos missed

    Street scenes, sports venues, and retail environments contain brand logos in backgrounds that human reviewers overlook. Product placements and incidental brand appearances carry the same legal risk.

    Impact: Background logos account for 25%+ of trademark violations

    3,000+ brands to track

    Content teams must check against thousands of protected brands simultaneously. Each brand may have multiple logo variants, sub-brands, and historical marks.

    Impact: Manual tracking of brand databases becomes stale within days
