Get to know Hovermap

Hovermap is a smart mobile scanning device that provides autonomous mapping inScanning with Hovermapchallenging, inaccessible areas. It uses sophisticated SLAM (simultaneous localization and mapping) technology, allowing for the collection of accurate 3D LiDAR data in almost all environments. With no GPS required for mapping, you can use Hovermap indoors, outdoors, and underground.

Hovermap can easily be mounted to a drone or vehicle, or you can perform a walking or backpack-mounted scan. Switching between these options is easy, with Hovermap’s quick-release mechanism.

Hovermap is lightweight, yet robust enough to withstand the demands of harsh environments. Made from a combination of machined aircraft-grade aluminum and reinforced polypropylene components, Hovermap is light, yet strong enough to support its rotating LiDAR while remaining stable in flight.

Benefits of Hovermap

• Safety: Eliminates the need for people to enter hazardous areas.

• Access: Allows you to capture data in areas not possible with other technologies.

• Efficiency: Enables you to survey areas very quickly (including setting up and packing away).

• Ease of use: Simplifies your operation, with autonomy and collision avoidance.

• Versatility: Hovermap can be mounted according to specific needs, allowing you to use it in many different and creative ways. Hovermap can be used for a wide variety of commercial applications, including mining, construction and engineering, geospatial, and public safety.

• Rich, survey-grade datasets: Create dense, highly detailed point clouds with survey-grade accuracy by pairing Hovermap with a supported RTK receiver on our Backpack or Vehicle RTK, or by using ground control points for precise georeferencing.

• True color scans: With Hovermap’s optional colorization feature, you can add a new level of reality to your 3D point clouds.
