Hovermap ST-X

Overview

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 a density of 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 excels at both indoor and close-range scans, producing sub-centimeter results thanks to advanced navigation capabilities including 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 IP65, weather sealed design makes Hovermap ST-X equally capable in the harshest environments, above ground or underground, indoors or out.

Key Highlights

• LiDAR sensing range of 300 meters
• More than a million points captured per second with triple returns
• Detailed scans, however complex the asset or terrain
• Robust, autonomous capability
• Operate in GPS-denied environments
• IP65 certified, weather sealed design
• Dust and splash resistant, making it ideal for use in dusty or otherwise harsh environments

Autonomy & Operating Modes

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.

Provides omnidirectional collision avoidance and line of sight GPS-denied flight capability for close-up inspections. Offers fast, accurate, and high resolution mobile scanning of environments where drone autonomy is not needed. Easily switch between autonomy modes during flight as needed.

Viewing & Data Streaming

Hovermap ST-X live streams the point cloud to the Emesent Commander App, 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.

Performance & Coverage

With a LiDAR sensing range of up to 300 m, Hovermap ST-X delivers higher, faster flying to extend your coverage and enable rapid data capture over large areas. Fewer flights are needed to cover an area, reducing time lost with setup, pack down, and relocation, as well as time spent merging scans.
