Hovermap Core

Emesent Hovermap Core brings SLAM-based LiDAR mapping to underground, confined and GPS-denied environments, enabling survey and inspection teams to create accurate 3D point clouds without relying on satellite positioning.

• Map without GPS: Emesent SLAM technology supports accurate 3D point cloud capture in underground mines, tunnels, building interiors and other environments where GNSS is unavailable or unreliable.
• Maintain ongoing mapping access: A perpetual mapping licence provides access to core mapping capability without recurring licence renewal costs after the initial purchase.
• Process data in Aura: Emesent's Aura platform supports point cloud processing, visualisation and project management from raw Hovermap data through deliverable-ready point clouds.
• Scale as requirements evolve: Upgrade paths to Mapping, Plus or Autonomy packages add capabilities including autonomous flight, point cloud colourisation, automated GCPs and RTK GPS support.

Overview and Who It's For

Hovermap Core is designed for AEC professionals, underground mine survey teams, infrastructure asset managers and inspection services requiring LiDAR mapping in GPS-denied and constrained environments. It is available with either the Hovermap ST or Hovermap ST-X system depending on operational requirements, with the ST-X providing extended range and performance for larger or more complex environments.

• Mining: Underground mine mapping, drift and stope survey, void documentation and change detection in GPS-denied environments.
• Civil and Power: Tunnel inspection, infrastructure asset documentation, confined space survey and construction progress monitoring.
• Survey and Mapping: AEC survey, as-built documentation, BIM data capture and facility management scanning for buildings and complex structures.

FAQs

What is the difference between Hovermap ST and Hovermap ST-X?
The Hovermap ST and ST-X are both SLAM-based LiDAR systems. The ST-X provides extended range and performance for larger or more complex environments. Visit the Hovermap ST product page or Hovermap ST-X product page to compare specifications, or contact Candrone to discuss which system suits your application.

Can Hovermap Core be upgraded to include autonomous flight capability?
Yes. Hovermap Core can be upgraded to Mapping, Plus or Autonomy packages, adding capabilities including autonomous flight, point cloud colourisation, automated Ground Control Points and RTK GPS support without replacing the core hardware.

Does Hovermap Core work without GPS?
Yes. Hovermap Core uses Emesent's SLAM technology to build accurate 3D point clouds without relying on GNSS signals, supporting mapping in underground mines, building interiors, tunnels and other GPS-denied environments.

How is Hovermap Core priced?
Pricing depends on the Hovermap hardware configuration selected, ST or ST-X, and any additional package requirements. Contact Candrone for current pricing based on your operational needs.
