Hovermap ST-X for Astro is coming soon! Read the press release here.
Hovermap incorporates the latest in LiDAR sensing technology to offer high density point clouds with exceptional coverage. Featuring a sensing range of up to 300 meters and more than a million points per second, Hovermap captures detailed, accurate data over a wide area fast – accelerating your time to insight.
Emesent offers a choice of Hovermap business plans designed to match and support your specific LiDAR mapping and data visualization requirements.
HOVERMAP ST-X EXTENDS THE REACH
OF AUTONOMOUS LIDAR MAPPING.
Hovermap ST-X takes SLAM-based LiDAR mapping
to new heights and enables autonomous mapping of
large assets and complex terrains.
Building on the proven success of Hovermap ST’s versatile autonomy
and mapping capability, Hovermap ST-X incorporates the latest in LiDAR
sensing technology to offer high density point clouds with increased
coverage. Featuring a sensing range of 300 meters and more than a million
points per second, it captures detailed, accurate data over a greater area
in less time - giving you faster time to insight.
Hovermap ST-X also excels at indoor or close-range scans, producing
sub-centimeter results thanks to the award winning Wildcat SLAM solution,
Automated Ground Control Points and improved LiDAR sensor accuracy.
Uniquely versatile, Hovermap ST-X allows you to capture data in any
environment. Mount it to a drone for autonomous aerial mapping even in
GPS-denied environments. Easily remove it from the drone and use it as a
handheld, backpack, or vehicle-mounted scanner. Use a combination of
these to rapidly capture as-builts and digital twins in minutes rather than
hours.
The tough, lightweight, and designed for IP65, weather sealed design
makes Hovermap ST-X equally capable in the harshest environments,
above ground or underground, indoors or out.
Features:
- LiDAR sensing range
of 300 meters
- More than a million
points captured
per second with triple
returns
- Robust, autonomous
capability
- Detailed scans,
however complex the
asset or terrain
Exceptional vegetation penetration
Triple returns and a rotating LiDAR (not statically mounted)
make Hovermap ST-X perfect for terrain or forestry
scanning. The resulting point cloud is dense, making it
easier to classify scanned objects.
Increased precision and accuracy
A cleaner, more precise point cloud with sub-centimeter
accuracy for ground-based scans over a larger distance
allows you to obtain more accurate measurements and
more defined features for improved insights. Use in
combination with Emesent’s Automated Ground Control
points (optional) for survey grade accuracy.
View your data as you capture it
Hovermap ST-X live streams the point cloud to your
control tablet, allowing a real-time preview of the data
as it is captured. The addition of Emesent’s Long Range
Radio accessory (optional*) enables live streaming and
device control up to 20 times further, allowing you to
see real-time data and set smart waypoints for Guided
Exploration from even further away.
Tough, weather sealed design for
harsh environments
Dust and splash resistant, making it ideal for use in
dusty or otherwise harsh environments.
Add accessories to meet your needs
The inclusion of an accessory port and mount points
expands Hovermap ST-X’s capability with the ability to
add Long Range Radio, Colorization hardware.
Scan the inaccessible
Advanced autonomy and 360 degree collision
avoidance enables flight and mapping in challenging
surroundings, including beyond visual line of sight
and communication range, even in GPS-denied
environments - providing new, valuable insights while
the operator remains in a safe location.
Unrivaled versatility and deployment options
The plug and play design and quick-release mechanism allow
easy switching from drone-based use to handheld, backpack,
vehicle, or ground robot-mounted scanning. This versatility
enables the easy collection of critical data in any environment.
- Autonomous
Waypoint Mode - Provides beyond line of sight flight
through Smart Waypoints and
Guided Exploration. Simply tap on
the live streamed map to set smart
waypoints, and Hovermap ST-X
takes care of the rest, navigating
to the waypoints, mapping the
area, and keeping itself and the
drone safe from obstacles.
- Pilot Assist Mode - Provides omnidirectional collision
avoidance and line of sight GPSdenied flight capability for close-up
inspections.
- Mapping Mode - Offers fast, accurate, and high
resolution mobile scanning
of environments where drone
autonomy is not needed.
Scan large areas in less time
With a LiDAR sensing range of 300 m, Hovermap ST-X enables flying
higher and faster to extend your transect coverage and enable faster
data capture over large areas. Fewer flights are needed to cover an
area, reducing lost time with setup, pack down, and relocation, as
well as time spent merging scans.
