For camera manufacturers and system integrators
We measure
the sky.
Pure software that turns a pair of cameras into a precise 3D measurement instrument for the lower airspace. Passive, deterministic, built on our proprietary geometry.

Without the LiDAR.
The industry assumed that accurate 3D airspace awareness required active emitters, radar or laser. They were wrong.
KUHAKEN has solved the long-range passive stereo vision problem. We returned to first principles and built a proprietary geometric foundation: by synchronizing two cameras and applying our proprietary geometry at the edge, THEIA computes a deterministic 3D position for every airborne object in real time.
No radar. No signals. No emissions. Just pure geometry doing what was considered impossible.
The geometry of sight.
THEIA replaces hardware complexity with proprietary geometry.
The foundation covers the geometric method, not a single product.
THEIA works on photons and pixels, nothing else. No neural network, no training data, no inference about what an object probably is. When something shifts by even a pixel between frames, the geometry turns that shift into position, speed and heading. The output is a measurement.
A grid of cells holding constant size at every depth, with a single tracked point travelling through it, its recent path behind it, and its uncertainty drawn around it.
It simply watches.
Radar illuminates the sky. That creates interference, requires spectrum permits from regulators, and raises safety questions anywhere there are people or navigation aids.
THEIA emits nothing. No RF, no laser, no acoustic signature. It reads the light that was already there, which makes it deployable around crowds, critical infrastructure, sensitive airport equipment and dense urban sites without asking anyone's permission to transmit.
The reference became the limit.
THEIA was flown outdoors at a third party research institution, against their drone carrying RTK corrected satellite positioning, the most precise airborne reference available. Their aircraft, their reference, not ours. Accuracy was scored in regions withheld from the fit rather than on the data used to build it, and the result held across repeated campaigns and repeated test series.
The result sits at the same order as the reference's own uncertainty. Finding out how much further the engine goes would take a better reference than RTK.
Not our aircraft.
The flights used a third party institution's drone and its own positioning reference. Not KUHAKEN hardware, not a KUHAKEN test rig.
Not our chosen data.
Accuracy was scored in withheld regions, so the result cannot be flattered by the data it came from.
Not our review.
The method and the results were examined and signed off by an independent academic in photogrammetry.
Photogrammetry is an old discipline, and an unforgiving one.
Measuring the world through cameras has had a century to develop settled standards for what counts as an accurate result. We put the method and the data in front of an independent academic working in the field. The range accuracy was signed off.
Domains of Application
Opening 3D airspace awareness to the hundreds of thousands of sites that could never justify the cost or complexity of radar.
Airports & Heliports
Independent verification of drone sightings near runways, without interfering with ATC radar.
Critical Infrastructure
Continuous airspace awareness over power plants, data centres, and refineries.
Public Events
Know what is overhead at stadiums and crowds, with zero RF emissions near people.
Wildfire Monitoring
Pinpoint the exact 3D position of smoke plumes across vast terrain, from cameras standing safely outside the fire zone.
UTM Corridors
Provide independent position truth for drone-delivery routes.
Airspace Research
Track wildlife and uncooperative traffic for academic and ecological study.
Two cameras. One baseline.
Kilometres of measured sky.
Centimetre-class 3D position, verified outdoors against RTK ground truth.
The further apart the two cameras stand, the further the system sees. Place them wide enough and one camera pair measures objects kilometres away.
Most stereo systems need short, rigidly aligned camera pairs. THEIA's proprietary geometry allows long baselines and cameras that are not aligned, and that freedom is what buys range and accuracy.
Full 3D position and velocity computed at the edge, every frame.
No radar, no RF, no laser. Nothing transmitted, no spectrum permits, nothing to detect.
We do not compete with you.
Hardware independence.
THEIA is software only. It runs on professional cameras and edge compute of your choice, in partnership with the manufacturers who build them.
Rapid calibration.
A short calibration procedure registers the entire measurement volume. Hours, not months.
Subscription access.
An annual software licence per activated camera pair. Predictable operating cost, continuously improving algorithms.
Software as a sensor.
The geometry lives in the software, and it makes good cameras capable of something they could not do before.
