L3智驾告别“夜盲症”，「深知未来」AI成像引擎已在广汽应用｜早期项目

Core Viewpoint - The company "Deep Knowledge Future" has launched its complex light AI imaging engine in collaboration with GAC's high-end flagship model, the Haobo HL, and plans to expand this technology to over ten different models in the future [1]. Company Overview - Deep Knowledge Future was established in 2017 and has developed a neural network-based AI ISP technology that enables ordinary visible light sensors to present full-color, high-definition images in real-time at night [1]. - The company has established three main product lines: the Light Encounter series for drone payloads, the Polar Star series for handheld imaging devices, and the Iron Vision series for module products [1]. - The first product was launched in July 2022, achieving over 200% sales growth for three consecutive years [1]. Strategic Growth in Automotive Sector - The automotive sector has become the most important strategic growth engine for the company, with collaborations established with several leading domestic manufacturers [3]. - The founder of the company, Zhang Qining, emphasized that 2025 will be a pivotal year for intelligent driving, with various vehicle intelligence technologies emerging [3]. - The company is experiencing increased interest from major automotive manufacturers seeking collaboration following the announcement with GAC Group [3]. Technological Advancements - The AI imaging engine is expected to address the limitations of current camera systems in autonomous driving, which are still at L1 level, while the autonomous driving technology has reached L3 level [3]. - Traditional ISP algorithms are based on manual rules, resulting in poor image quality in complex light scenarios, whereas the new AI imaging technology simulates human visual processing and can continuously evolve to meet the demands of intelligent driving algorithms [4][6]. - The company is currently the only global entity to achieve a commercial closed loop for vehicle-grade full-process neural network AI imaging engines [6]. Financial Outlook - Due to significant growth in the automotive sector, the company is projected to become the first AI imaging company to achieve profitability in the AI ISP field this year [6].
