Talpa Network has acquired a strategic stake in Computer Vision start-up Camvision s.r.o, which is a technology company focused on the development of intelligent systems for the fully automatic recording and online streaming of live sports events and sports analysis software.

 

Its cutting-edge software solutions use computer vision and Artificial Inteligence deep-learning technology to analyze live video streams in real-time.

 

Camvision s.r.o. has a multinational client list that includes the Swiss Football League, the Portuguese Football Federation, Rapid Wien and Feyenoord Rotterdam.

 

Talpa Network and the KNVB will use Camvision’s technology for VoetbalTV, the online social and analysis platform for amateur football in the Netherlands that was recently announced as going-live on September 1st, 2018. Some 80,000 amateur matches per year will be broadcast fully automatically on VoetbalTV using smart cameras and smart software.

 

Camvison will continue to operate as an independent company in Brno, Czech Republic, under the leadership of its two co-founders Igor Potúček and Stanislav Sumec, but will now benefit from Talpa’s network and infrastructure to support its growth.
