RTK DATA
Elevate the Precision of Your Drone Surveys with Real-Time Corrections
RTK, or Real-Time Kinematic, is an advanced satellite navigation technology that boosts the accuracy of positioning data captured by drones. By providing real-time corrections to GPS signals, RTK ensures highly precise location measurements essential for detailed surveys.
Utilizing RTK-equipped drones with Nusail Drone Survey enhances the quality and efficiency of your surveys, making it an invaluable tool for accurate and effective project management.
WHAT ARE THE ADVANTAGES OF A RTK Data?
✔ Precision Accuracy
✔ Increased Efficiency
✔ Fewer Ground Control Points Needed
✔ Optimized for Dynamic Environments
The Process
GPS Receivers
Drones with RTK capabilities are equipped with advanced GPS receivers that not only capture signals from satellite systems like GPS, GLONASS, and others but also receive real-time correction signals from a ground-based reference station.
Reference Stations
RTK technology relies on a network of ground reference stations with accurately measured locations. These stations detect satellite signals and calculate real-time errors affecting those signals.
Correction Data
The reference stations send correction data to the RTK-equipped drone in real time. This data corrects errors caused by atmospheric conditions, satellite clock inaccuracies, and other factors that can distort GPS accuracy.
Precise Real-Time Positioning
With the correction data, the RTK drone fine-tunes its own GPS positioning, achieving centimeter-level accuracy during flight. This real-time correction dramatically enhances the precision of survey data collected on-site.
Applications of RTK
RTK technology elevates the precision and efficiency of drone surveys by delivering real-time GPS correction data. This makes it an indispensable tool for situations requiring exact geospatial measurements.
Key applications include:- Construction Site Surveys: Accurate site mapping and measurement, ensuring precise alignment with design plans.
- Mapping and Topography: Provides detailed and reliable elevation data for large-scale mapping projects.
- Agriculture: RTK enhances the accuracy of crop monitoring and management.
- Infrastructure Inspection: Assists in capturing precise data for the inspection and maintenance of roads, bridges, and utilities.
