Mapping options for every scanning need
Hovermap’s autonomy levels give you the versatility to best capture the environment you need and the confidence to leave the site knowing you’ve captured everything you need. In all modes, Hovermap streams a live point cloud to the Hovermap app, providing a real-time preview of the data as it is captured when in communication range.
-
Autonomous waypoint mode
Autonomous waypoint mode provides beyond line of sight flight through smart waypoints and guided exploration.
Simply tap on the map to set smart waypoints, and hovermap takes care of the rest, navigating to the waypoints, mapping the area, and keeping itself and the drone safe from obstacles. -
Pilot assist mode
Pilot assist mode provides omnidirectional collision avoidance, line of sight gps-denied flight capability, and stability control, providing the confidence and stability for close, thorough inspections. It acts as a safety bubble for your drone, keeping the asset and your equipment safe. This mode is available in the plus subscription.
-
Mapping mode
Mapping mode offers fast, accurate, and high-resolution mobile scanning of environments where drone autonomy is unnecessary. Hovermap’s quick-release mechanism allows you to easily switch from a drone to handheld scanning or a backpack, vehicle, or protective cage for SLAM-based mobile mapping.
Leading LiDAR Mapping
-
Designed for tough missions
All Hovermaps in the ST product range are designed with the tough, lightweight, ip65 weather sealed design giving you the confidence to capture harsher areas. The award-winning Wildcat SLAM solution and Emesent autonomy algorithms ensure safety for the drone and asset, even in hazardous, GPS-denied environments.
-
Deployment options to suit your needs
Hovermap’s unique versatility allows users to capture data from previously inaccessible areas, either from the air or on the ground. The plug-and-play design enables easy switching from drone-based use to handheld, backpack, vehicle or ground robot-mounted scanning.
