Why our customers choose Hovermap
“Hovermap’s 3D LiDAR technology can be incorporated into 7 of the 12-step CBRN crime scene process: approaching the scene, securing and protecting the scene, the reconnaissance survey; photographing the scene; scene diagram; searching; and the final survey.”
– Christina M. Baxter, Ph.D. | Emergency Response TIPS, LLC
Why Hovermap for Emergency Services?
UNIQUE VERSATILITY
The plug and play design and quick-release mechanism allow easy switching between modes, making it ideal for unknown or evolving scenarios. Deploy Hovermap as a handheld scanner; attached to a drone, vehicle, or pole; lowered in a cage; or mounted to a backpack. The compact, lightweight design makes it easy to carry and provides longer flight time.
SUB CENTIMETRE ACCURACY
Emesent’s Automated Ground Control further increases the accuracy of Hovermap point clouds. It enhances the capabilities of its SLAM-based mapping – improving SLAM accuracy and removing drift or slips to deliver survey grade results.
NOT RELIANT ON GPS
World-leading SLAM (simultaneous localization and mapping) techniques, with Emesent’s advanced algorithms, extend Hovermap’s capabilities to provide autonomous data capture using a drone or other robotic platform, enabling users to maintain safe distances, situational awareness and accurate mapping even when GPS is not available, such as in tunnels or caves.
EASY TO TRAIN, USE AND DEPLOY
Hovermaps automated data capture, streamlined workflows and plug and play design allow users to start scanning at the touch of a button.
WORKS IN ZERO LIGHT ENVIRONMENTS
Hovermap can operate in complete darkness without impacting scan quality.
ADAPTABLE, CONTEXTUAL DATA CAPTURE
Colorize, animate, overlay information or add annotations to present a comprehensive visual picture to teams on the ground and remote stakeholders. Gain exact measurements to aid assessment, such as distances and widths, as well as volumetrics.
ANALYZE DATA IN MULTIPLE WAYS
Hovermap’s filters enable data to be analyzed in multiple ways including by time, intensity and height to uncover additional insights. Areas with different reflectivity can be highlighted, such as areas of contamination from an oil or chemical spill, that otherwise may not be clearly visible.
