Launch YC: 💡 DeepNight - Next generation night vision


"Building night vision with AI"

DeepNight is building The Next Generation of Night Vision Devices.

Founded by Thomas Li & Lucas Young

TL;DR: DeepNight makes better, cheaper night vision.

🌒 The Problem:

Seeing in near-total darkness is usually solved with specialized and expensive hardware like the $3000 image intensifier tube. Solutions like thermal and infrared cameras are extremely expensive and power-hungry. Digital cameras such as CMOS are still unable to perform in near-total darkness like moonless starlight.

💡 DeepNight's Solution:

They leverage state-of-the-art digital CMOS sensors, high-performance mobile SOCs, and edge AI processing to build real-time on-edge night vision that enables devices to outperform the state of the art in night vision technology. Operators will be able to see in the dark at framerate, at a fraction of the cost. Unlike the analog image intensifier tube, DeepNight's solution is digital, enabling useful downstream features like streaming and object recognition. The core enabling technology is AI signal processing that deciphers the extremely limited signal from the CMOS sensor in near-total darkness.

Here is the impact of their AI low light signal processing:

Their solution also works at frame rate on low-power devices like a mobile phone:
