Why use Hovermap?
-
Explore beyond line of sight
When mounted to a drone, Hovermap’s Tap-to-Fly autonomy feature enables mapping in previously inaccessible areas beyond line of sight and communication range. The omnidirectional Collision Avoidance, Guided Exploration, and smart Return-to-Home functions ensure your Hovermap keeps a safe distance from assets and returns home safely with the valuable data it has collected.
-
Built for harsh conditions
The tough, weather sealed, IP65 rated unit is dust and water resistant, allowing you to map in severe environments. It can operate in temperatures from -10 to 45°C (14 to 113 °F) as well as high humidity, making it ideal for use in underground mines and other harsh environments.
-
Unique versatlility
The plug and play design and quick-release mechanism allow easy switching between modes. Use Hovermap as a handheld scanner; attached to a drone, vehicle, or pole; lowered in a cage; or mounted to a backpack to easily collect data anywhere. The compact, lightweight design makes it easy to carry and provides longer flight time.
-
Automated GCP workflow
Georeferencing in underground mines uses standard prisms and spigots that require specialized mounting adaptors. Emesent has developed mining specific GCP’s and GCP adaptors that meet these specialised requirements. GCP’s are automatically detected during scanning, improving accuracy and eliminating the need for manual georeferencing of the point cloud post processing.
-
Improved decision making
Mining decision-making is improved with autonomous data capture for volumetrics, over/under break, deformation monitoring, and geotechnical stability monitoring.
Hovermap’s versatility provides autonomous mapping in challenging, inaccessible areas, while the rotating LiDAR provides an omnidirectional field of view, ensuring 3D data is collected in all directions for complete, shadowless point clouds.
-
Reliable data
With a combination of world leading LiDAR mapping and drone autonomy, Hovermap produces reliable, accurate data which integrates seamlessly with existing workflows to enable new analytical insights.
