Where the Pictures
Come From

Every photograph and clip on this site that Velox did not make is listed here with its author, source, and license. The hardware in the NASA photographs is NASA's, not ours, and none of the people or agencies shown endorse Velox. If you own something on this page and want it credited differently or taken down, email info@veloxresearch.com.

Footage

Home page hero and Fig. 01 on the Capabilities page. Two clips, both U.S. Government work.

Ssang Yong beach landing exercise, b-roll

Footage of an amphibious landing exercise at Pohang, Republic of Korea, 31 March 2014. Five of the six shots in the home page background loop and in Fig. 01 under On-device AI / ML on the Capabilities page: the two landing ships, the amphibious formation, the UH-60 and the V-22.

Changes: trimmed to short shots, resized, and overlaid with Velox's detection and tracking output. The overlay is ours, the footage is not.

  • The detection, tracking and type overlay on the home and Capabilities loops, produced from the models' own output. The detector and the type classifier are stock models trained on public data, run through Velox's tracking, classification and rendering chain.
  • The magnetic-field simulation loop on the Labs page.
  • The figures: the animated stereo-track geometry demo, the language-task figure (the Arabic example sentence is ours), and the callout overlays on the photographs credited above.
  • The overlay on the face-recognition figure on the Capabilities page (the detections, landmarks and match score are real output, and the footage is credited below).
  • The night scene in Capabilities section 01 and the home page tile: a low-light visible frame and a Velox LWIR frame of the same scene, registered by Velox to one geometry with a global affine transform (residual parallax remains between near and far objects), and a blend of the two.
  • The daytime LWIR frame in Capabilities section 02 and on the home page, from a Velox sensor, with its own detection overlay.
  • The bench and field images on the Labs page, the acoustic array in Capabilities section 03, and the CFD cut plot.

Space Domain Analysis (what's over you right now)

Orbital data: CelesTrak GP data, originally from USSPACECOM via Space-Track.org. A copy is saved with the site. Once it is more than a day old your browser fetches fresh data from CelesTrak and keeps it for six hours, and a small bundled copy is the last fallback
Propagation: satellite.js 6.0.2 (SGP4), MIT License, self-hosted
Sun position, sky map and globe: Velox's own code. Your location is used in your browser only and is not sent anywhere.
3D rendering: three.js r186, © 2010–2026 three.js authors, MIT License, self-hosted
Earth textures: NASA Earth Observatory / GSFC. Day: "The Blue Marble: Land Surface, Ocean Color and Sea Ice" (Reto Stöckli, Robert Simmon, MODIS, 2002). Night: "Earth's City Lights" (DMSP data via NOAA NGDC, 2000). Public domain NASA imagery, as redistributed in the three-globe package (MIT), downscaled by Velox. No endorsement implied.
Place search: GeoNames populated places of 1,000 people or more, CC BY 4.0, as packaged in all-the-cities 3.1.0 (© 2018 Nabil Ashraf, MIT License). Reformatted by Velox into small files and searched in your browser.
First place shown: the main city of your browser's time zone, from the IANA time zone database (public domain) and the GeoNames places above. US Eastern time opens on Reston, VA.
Hub cities and the populated-land map (packet journey, race, ride along): city coordinates and populated cells from GeoNames, CC BY 4.0, keyed by each city's IATA airport code.
Laser mesh, coverage map, race and GPS walkthrough: Velox's own models over the CelesTrak data, described on the page. Starlink does not publish its laser links, so the mesh is a model.

Detection loop toolchain

Detector and tracker: Ultralytics YOLO11 with ByteTrack, run on the stock COCO checkpoint
Type classifier: OpenCLIP ViT-L/14 (OpenAI weights), zero-shot over a short list of vessel and aircraft types, scored per track
Rendering: Pillow and FFmpeg. VP9 and H.264 encodes, served with a poster frame.
