Hovermap Context

Market context

Hovermap is Emesent’s LiDAR mapping and autonomy payload family for high-density 3D capture in GPS-denied and hard-to-access environments.

  • Target environment: Mines, tunnels, industrial assets, infrastructure, construction sites and other indoor or GPS-denied spaces.
  • Workflow context: Captures SLAM-based point clouds from drones, handheld operation, backpacks, vehicles and ground robots, with live point-cloud preview.
  • Customer context: Survey teams, mining operators, AEC firms, industrial inspection teams and robotics integrators needing mobile reality capture.
  • Deployment model: Commercial sensor/autonomy payload family with multiple mounting modes and Emesent software ecosystem.
  • Commercial maturity: Commercial product family with published product pages and ST/ST-X brochure.
  • Adoption constraints: Output quality depends on scan planning, environment, mounting mode and downstream processing; ST/ST-X variants should be compared against the relevant model datasheet.
  • Market position: Reference LiDAR-SLAM payload for drone-based and ground-based mapping in inaccessible environments.
  • Adjacent products: Flyability Elios 3, ExynAero, Ouster lidar systems
