Use the proximity map to avoid obstacles and navigate the drone safely from a distance.
Accessory Port
An accessory port and mount points expand Hovermap ST’s capability with accessories such as a long-range radio.
Drone Mountable*
Attach the Hovermap payload to a compatible drone to use it as an all-in-one 3D mapping device.
Smart Battery Return-to-Home
Maximize flight time and return the drone to base safely using Hovermap’s battery monitoring and shortest route home features.
Magnetic Interference Tolerance
Maintain flight stability in areas of magnetic interference.
Barometric Pressure Tolerance
Fly safely in tight spaces where air pressure fluctuates using the Hovermap SLAM altitude control feature.
Data Capture
‘Mapping Only’
Rapid, high-definition survey-grade 3D data capture, in scenarios where autonomy is not required.
Omnidirectional Collision Avoidance
Create a virtual safety shield around the drone and avoid the smallest of obstacles.
Real-Time Point Cloud Streaming
View the 3D point cloud of your mapped environment in real time.
Smart Waypoints
Let the drone self-navigate to pre-set waypoints and monitor its progress via a live-streamed 3D map.
Beyond Line-Of Sight Flight (BLOS)
Capture complex assets with a BVLOS Hovermap flight in GPS-denied environments.
Guided Exploration and Intelligent Path Planning
Hovermap’s autonomous path planning algorithms guide the drone through its flight mission.
Tap-To-Fly Operation
Fly an entire mission, from take-off to landing, with Hovermap’s easy to use interface.
Communication Loss Return-To-Home
Minimize the risk from communications loss between the drone and Hovermap.
Live Stream Onboard Drone Camera*
View a live stream of the mission with an integrated drone camera and Emesent software.
Operate Beyond Communication Range
Hovermap finds a safe route to a waypoint (continue beyond Wifi and radio communication ranges) before returning to home.
Extend your connectivity range up to 20 times*
Long range radio enables users to live stream Hovermap point cloud data and control Hovermap from up to 20 times further.
GPS Denied Flight*
Allows drones to fly autonomously in GPS-denied environments, enabling a host of new applications such as flying and mapping in underground mines, inside warehouses or inspecting underneath bridges.
DATA PROCESSING AND VISUALIZATION
A single streamlined application workflow
Process and visualize your data in one intuitive platform.
Multi-frame rendering
Proprietary visualization algorithms enable seamless manipulation of large point clouds. Visualize your point cloud in the highest detail, providing deeper insights.
Reliable high-quality processing
Processing powered by the worlds leading SLAM algorithm, converting your data into highly, accurate point clouds.
Export to a range of formats
Output the processed point cloud data to LAZ, LAS, PLY and E57 into your required file type.
Automated Point Cloud Cleaning Tools
Clean your point cloud at the touch of a button with SOR (Statistical Outlier Removal) and DBD (Decimate by Distance) filters.
GPS Auto-Geolocation
Automated georeferencing and survey grade accuracy enhancement.
3D Tools for Improved Analysis
A range of 3D tools allows you to easily manipulate point clouds, reducing the risk or error and improving analysis.
Queuing
Save time by queuing multiple jobs to process automatically in the background.
Automated Ground Control Point (GCPs)*
Automated georeferencing and survey grade accuracy enhancement.
Color Scale Filtering
Apply filters based on specific attributes, including elevation, position, intensity, time and range.
Colorization*
Enhance visualization and analysis by adding true colour to Hovermap point clouds.
Point Cloud Merging
Combine multiple point clouds to produce a single seamless scan.
Personalised Processing Profiles
Create customized profiles or reuse existing profiles to process scans with minimal configuration.
RTK (Real Time Kinematics)*
Automated georeferencing and SLAM correction enhancement for above ground drone-based scans without the need for GCP.
MISSION PLANNING AND CONTROL
Responsive, intuitive command
A new, intuitive and highly responsive touch screen interface delivers ease of navigation and smooth mission handling. Status indicators and active settings can be observed at a glance.
Streamlined mission workflow
Seamless guided workflow for both mapping and autonomous missions provides effortless control and execution.
Advanced navigation
Hovermap automatically selects SLAM navigation to ensure optimal data capture and operation no matter the environment.
Dust filters
Hovermap’s dust filtering capabilities allow safer, more confident autonomous flying in even the most challenging of environments.
Obstacle avoidance
Commander’s Shield function delivers advanced obstacle avoidance with increased precision, accuracy and range.
Notifications and failsafes
Pre-mission checks ensure you are set up for scanning success, along with pop up notifications that keep you informed during the mission and provide guided prompts when action is needed.
Live point cloud visualization
Live visualization with enhanced point cloud quality, clarity and depth perception.
Environmental handling
Autonomy detects environmental hazards such as dense vapor clouds in underground mining stopes and prevents flight into them, keeping your device safe.
Light mode
Greatly improves screen visibility in bright light environments, ensuring optimal contrast, readability and reducing eye strain.
Plane clipping
Ideal for visualizing floor plan details of a building. Create top down or side on cross sections of your scan to expose greater detail or highlight areas of interest.
