1. Place your targets
No more fading painted crosses or easily damaged foam spheres! Emesent’s ground control targets are durable and easily placed and left in place for repeated scanning. Emesent’s spigot-mounted discs are available, or the reflective disc targets can easily be sourced or made.
2. Survey the targets
Use a total station or GPS rover to survey in new target locations. Placing Emesent’s spigot-mounted targets into existing survey collars ensures the target centers coincide with existing survey prism locations, avoiding the need to resurvey.

3. Conduct a non-stop scan
Machine learning is used to detect targets automatically in the scan during processing, so there is no need to stop or place Hovermap on the target, minimizing your scan time.
4. Process the data
Select to input the raw scan data and survey coordinates into Emesent’s Aura software. Ground Control automatically detects the survey targets and applies a non-rigid transformation of the point cloud, giving you the most accurate results.

5. Confirm the results
Processing can be run automatically end-to-end without interaction, or the target detection and constellation matching results can be visualized in Emesent’s point cloud viewer in Aura for confirmation or adjustment.

6. Output survey grade results
An accurate, georeferenced Hovermap point cloud is ready for use.
