THEIA How It Works Deployment Applications Contact
Powered by Stereo vision and Geometry

3D Precision of LiDAR.
Without the LiDAR.

Geometry-first targeting for counter-drone defense. No radar. No RF. No emissions. Deterministic 3D coordinates at the sensor node.

Scroll

Drone warfare has turned every vehicle, base, and squad into a target. Radar does not scale to this problem. Sensor fusion cannot generate precision. There is only one thing that matters: a real-time 3D aimpoint. KUHAKEN delivers it.

Introducing
THEIA
The first stereo vision that works at range.

THEIA is KUHAKEN's stereo vision engine, the first passive optical system to deliver deterministic fire-control coordinates, without radar, without lidar, and without a centralized command link.

Passive

No radar. No RF. No laser. No emissions of any kind. The defender cannot be located. The system cannot be jammed.

Precise

Centimeter precision at range deemed impossible until now. Not a probability cloud, a deterministic 3D coordinate, computed from geometry alone.

Autonomous

Runs on the edge. No fusion dependency. No centralized C2. Detection, lock, and aimpoint output in under 1 seconds.

Capability · THEIA
Passive Kill
Chain.

THEIA completes the full engagement chain autonomously, from first pixel to intercept coordinate, without active emissions, radar cueing, or operator hand-off.

Stereo Cross-Validation

Detect

Both cameras must agree. THEIA cross-validates every signal across the stereo pair using epipolar geometry, if a contrast pixel in motion doesn't appear at the correct position in both frames simultaneously, it is discarded before it enters the pipeline. False alarms are rejected at the geometry level, not filtered after the fact.

Contrast pixels in motion → confirmed by both cameras → detection event.

02
Asymmetric Tracking Volume

Track

Once confirmed, the target is assigned an asymmetric tracking volume, tight lateral boundaries, depth axis elongated to absorb the noise physics imposes at range. A fresh 3D position is computed every frame. When depth error spikes by tens of meters, the lock holds. The track never drops on geometry that the system was designed to expect.

3D Movement Signature

Classify

No RF receiver. No trained model. Classification emerges from the trajectory itself, speed profile, directional change rate, altitude behavior, and kinematic consistency over time. A military UAS, a commercial drone, and a bird produce distinct signatures in 3D space. THEIA reads them without needing to hear the target transmit anything.

How it moves is what it is. The 3D track is the classification signal.

04
Convergence to Aimpoint

Lock Aimpoint

Candidates converge through iterative probabilistic gating, hundreds of possible positions reduced, frame by frame, to a single 10cm voxel. The output is not a bounding box center. It is a weighted spatial coordinate plus a velocity vector, computed from the optical density inside the volume. Effector-ready. Every frame.
