About Deepnight
Deepnight is developing a low-light camera by embedding an AI model directly into the device. Its edge AI chip processes the camera’s limited signal to deliver usable vision in extremely dark conditions, as dark as 0.1 millilux on the Earth's surface. The compact camera measures one cubic inch, runs at 90 frames per second, and consumes only 1 watt. Deepnight’s aim is to enable robots, drones, autonomous vehicles, and head-mounted displays to operate in total darkness, expanding capabilities in nocturnal and low-light environments.
