How to obtain accurate mapping data? RTK use without GCPs?
Today’s episode is brought to you by Drone U In-person Events. If you’re looking to enhance your flight skills (and who among us doesn’t need to enhance our flight skills), we are hosting our last in-person mapping training in November in beautiful Colorado. This is our three-day boot camp plus one-day Flight Mastery Training. We will be introducing and flying a variety of data acquisition types followed by discussion and instruction on how to process the acquired data. From Pix4d Mapper to Pix4d React, to Drone Deploy and Optelos. Students will go through a total of 7 exercises to master the workflow for various deliverables. The goal is to map and build models of this training’s location. Join us today !!
On today’s show we discuss about RTKs, GCPs and mapping accuracy and conducting successful mapping missions.
Join us for today’s episode where we discuss mapping in detail and go over the need for using RTK, GCPs. Our question from John today is about knowing more on RTKs, GCP and mapping data accuracy. Thanks for the question John, there has always been the need for pilots to be mindful of the many parameters for obtaining great mapping data and in today’s podcast we go over all of them. We address John’s question on using RTK without GCPs and provide the process for executing a perfect mapping mission and gather accurate data.
