In this episode of "Your Drone Questions. Answered," we tackle the question: What are the different RTK correction methods for drone mapping missions, and when should you use each one?
We explore the differences between Real-Time Kinematic (RTK) and Post-Process Kinematic (PPK) workflows, breaking down how these technologies improve GNSS accuracy for professional drone mapping.
In this video, you'll learn:
-The fundamental differences between RTK and PPK
-Network-based vs. local base station correction methods
-How to handle mapping in remote areas with poor connectivity
-Why ground control points remain essential even with RTK drones
-The importance of maintaining workflow flexibility in the field
-How modern GNSS receivers can perform multiple functions simultaneously
Whether you're operating in areas with reliable cell service or mapping in the middle of nowhere, this episode provides practical guidance for choosing the right correction method for your specific situation.
