Q4 2019 New Features Overview

Emesent is excited to release a range of new features that save time and enable greater insights. Hovermap – now an even more versatile and powerful mapping solution.

01.GEO-REFERENCING USING GPS
  • Facilitates placing your data into WGS84 coordinates.
  • Save time and money by avoiding the need to place GCPs in the environment.
  • Automatically use GPS from the drone to geo-reference Hovermap pointclouds.
  • Simplify the process and increase efficiency by eliminating the extra calibration work before a scan.
  • Get geo-referenced pointclouds directly out of Emesent software.
02.AUTOMATED POINTCLOUD MERGING
  • Saves time and improves results.
  • Automated SLAM-based merging of multiple scans.
  • Merge scans from different Hovermap units captured at different times.
  • Combine smaller scans to produce one large scanned area.
  • Combine indoor and outdoor scans or drone based and handheld scans.
  • Perform parallel scans using more than one device.
  • Accurately aligned scans from different times allows change detection between scans.
03.POINTCLOUD COLORISATION
  • More intuitive and realistic visualisation experience of the scanned environment.
  • Simply attach a GoPro to your Hovermap and collect video while scanning. Our software does the rest to create RBG point clouds.
  • Automated intrinsic and extrinsic calibration makes it simple to mount the camera in any position.
  • Standard mounting brackets supplied for Hovermap HF1 and VF1 models.
  • Modular flexible design allows other cameras to be used in the future.
