Underground Versatility: Mapping a Medieval Castle's Cisterns with Emesent Hovermap ST

With Emesent Hovermap, you choose the right capture method for each space, not the other way around.

Join Paolo Corradeghini of 3DMetrica for a look at a real project: creating a complete 3D model of the underground water cisterns of a medieval castle.

In this case study, you'll see how the versatility of Hovermap ST lets you choose the right capture method for each space, rather than the other way around:

  • Remote deployment from above. In one of the cisterns, the unit was introduced through the opening from above, with nobody inside, to capture the volume while keeping people out of a confined and potentially hazardous space.
  • Mobile capture on foot. In the other volumes, the unit was carried by operators walking through the space, quickly capturing continuous, detailed data of the full environment.
  • One dataset, one model. How the different acquisitions were combined to link the cisterns with the rest of the castle in a single coherent 3D model.

The session is based on real field experience, including the challenges we faced and the practical decisions that shaped the workflow.
