AUTONOMOUS LIDAR MAPPING
Hovermap’s advanced algorithms combine autonomy, SLAM and LiDAR technologies to deliver smart navigation and survey grade results. Featuring capabilities such as Omnidirectional Collision Avoidance, position hold, and intelligent Return-to-Home, Hovermap keeps equipment and personnel safe, even in GPS-denied, hazardous, and dark environments.
Hovermap autonomy in action
Your Choice of Autonomy Capabilities
Hovermap offers versatile levels of autonomy to suit the requirements of your mapping environment. Starting with a ‘mapping only’ solution, Hovermap is able to adapt as needed, allowing easy, remote upgrading to expand your capabilities. Regardless of level, Hovermap streams a live point cloud to your Hovermap app, providing a real-time preview of captured data (while in communication range).
The Autonomy Solution
The Hovermap Autonomy Solution enables deployment beyond visual line of sight (BVLOS) and communications range and provides advanced BVLOS waypoint-based mission planning and enhanced Return-to-Home functionality. Hovermap pilots can fly an entire mission, from takeoff to landing, using a tablet. Data is processed onboard in real-time, and a 3D map streamed back to the operator. The Autonomy Solution is suited for data capture of complex assets in challenging, GPS-denied environments in infrastructure, construction, engineering, energy, and underground mining.
The Plus Solution
The Hovermap Plus Solution provides omnidirectional Collision Avoidance and GPS-denied flight capability, acting as a safety bubble for your drone. It comes into its own in challenging environments and is suited for line of sight, pilot-assisted drone operation, for as-built creation, asset inspection, condition monitoring, small area land surveys, and more.
Mapping-only Solution
The Hovermap Mapping Only Solution delivers fast, accurate, and high quality mobile scanning of environments where drone autonomy is not required. Hovermap can be used as a mobile scanner, attached to a drone or vehicle, lowered in a cage, or mounted to a backpack and provides real-time visualization of the point cloud as it is captured.
