Autonomous and Versatile LiDAR based Mapping
Discover 20 incredible ways to use Hovermap
Find out moreHOVERMAP™
Hovermap is an autonomous mapping payload. Lightweight and versatile, it can be mounted to a drone for autonomous mapping in challenging and inaccessible areas.
Designed to work seamlessly with the DJI Matrice 300 RTK and the Acecore Zoe, the quick-release mechanism allows Hovermap to easily switch from a drone to walking scans, enabling the capture of critical data both in the air and on the ground.
Hovermap is capable of multiple levels of autonomy, ranging from Pilot Assist Mode to Autonomous Waypoints, enabling Hovermap to fly and map GPS-denied areas thanks to Emesent’s advanced LiDAR algorithms. This enables a host of new applications for drone based mapping such as underground mines and inspecting underneath bridges.
Key Features
UNIQUE DESIGN - Hovermap's plug-and-play capabilities allow multiple options to collect critical data in challenging areas.
GPS DENIED FLIGHT - Map any environment quickly and safely with Hovermap’s SLAM localization.
COLLISION AVOIDANCE - Hovermap acts as a virtual safety bubble around the drone to prevent collisions. LiDAR data is processed onboard in real-time to produce a local 3D map of the surroundings.

Colourisation for Hovermap™
Supercharge your point cloud data with advanced colourisation algorithms
Hovermap now gives you additional insight with the introduction of colourisation. 3D point clouds can now be augmented with true colour providing additional singing for client visualisation and analysis.
Simply attach the rugged GoPro Hero8 to Hovermap with the custom quick release mount. The Emesent’s in house algorithm precisely combines the LiDAR and colourised images to produce incredible results.
Hovermap’s point cloud and image outputs can be imported into your preferred third-party software, making the integration of Hovermap into your existing work flows simple.
