Why UAVs need GNSS RTK?
Standard GPS vs GNSS RTK — fuzzy vs precise
- Large error margin
- Position drift
- Multipath interference
- Low precision for surveying
- Differential correction
- Fixed precise coordinates
- Real-time base station support
- Survey-grade accuracy
GNSS RTK transforms UAV positioning from "rough estimation" to "centimeter-level precision", enabling professional applications in surveying, agriculture, and infrastructure inspection.
| Metric | Standard GPS | GNSS RTK |
|---|---|---|
| Accuracy | 2.5m – 5m | 1cm – 2.5cm |
| Error Sources | Atmospheric/Orbit Errors | Eliminated by Differentials |
| Applications | Consumer Use | Professional Surveying |
