Get to know Hovermap

Hovermap mounts to a drone or a vehicle, and it also supports walking and backpack scans. The quick-release mechanism makes it easy to change between these options.

Hovermap is lightweight, yet robust enough to withstand the demands of harsh environments. Hovermap is made from machined aircraft-grade aluminum and reinforced polypropylene. It is light, but strong enough to support its rotating LiDAR and stay stable in flight.

Benefits of Hovermap

• Safety: Removes the need for people to go into hazardous areas.

• Access: Captures data in areas that other technologies cannot reach.

• Efficiency: Surveys areas quickly, including setup and pack-up.

• Ease of use: Autonomy and collision avoidance make operation simpler.

• Versatility: Hovermap mounts in many configurations to suit the task. Hovermap is used for a wide variety of commercial applications, including mining, construction and engineering, geospatial, and public safety.

• Survey-grade datasets: Hovermap makes dense point clouds with survey-grade accuracy. For georeferencing, use a supported RTK receiver on the Backpack RTK or Vehicle RTK, or use ground control points.

• True color scans: The optional colorization feature adds true color to 3D point clouds.
