How PPK Enhances GPS Accuracy in Drone Mapping

How PPK Enhances GPS Accuracy in Drone Mapping Introduction When it comes to drone mapping, accurate georeferencing is crucial for creating reliable orthomosaic maps and digital terrain models (DTMs). Two primary methods dominate the landscape: GPS-only positioning and Post-Processed Kinematic (PPK) corrections. While GPS-only mapping is simpler, PPK workflows provide enhanced accuracy that can be
