Vision Stats

  • 92% tracking retention in near-total darkness using synthetic IR-augmented training data.
  • Real-time denoising at 30 FPS on mobile hardware ensures smooth creative feedback.
  • Multi-object persistence even behind occlusions and structural shadows.

Low light introduces noise and reduces contrast. Learn how to train robust trackers that work even in the dark. We leverage unsupervised denoising networks to clean up inputs before they even hit the detection layer.

Denoising at the Edge

Processing low-light video in real-time requires incredible efficiency. Our edge-optimized denoising kernels run natively on mobile NPU hardware, allowing for 30 FPS tracking on modern smartphones without draining the battery. This makes high-fidelity vision accessible in field-ops and evening photography.

Synthetic Training for Real-World Chaos

By using AiddepImage's physics engine to generate millions of low-light training samples with known ground truth, we've bypassed the need for expensive dark-room labeling. This synthetic-to-real (Sim2Real) approach ensures that our models encounter every possible noise pattern before they ever see a real sensor feed.
