01Our story
The story of Protostar Labs started at the Astronomical Society Anonymus. We were a group of young engineers and scientists who shared a passion for space, but also for technology and science in general.
We developed the Supernova Search Project, a system analyzing thousands of nightly images to detect supernovas, at La Sagra Observatory in Spain from 2010 to 2013. This led to the discovery of 20 new supernovas, confirmed by the International Astronomical Union.
Utilizing computer vision technology to analyze astronomical images, we realized there is a huge potential for other applications in industry, and Protostar Labs was born.
From 2019, we are innovating in the area of computer vision and machine learning, with a mission to bridge the gap between the technological capabilities and real-world applications.
Today, we are an interdisciplinary team of engineers and scientists with expertise in computer vision, machine learning, physics, software engineering, and electronics. Together with our partners and clients, we push the limits of possible and try to make a positive impact on the world around us.
