And typically what I'm doing is processing the same flight capture with no GCP, with GCPs, and as Checkpoints to try and isolate the variables and in several different processing packages.

#Mobile drone station software

My background is actually total station and then RTK software going way back so we're using a lot of those tools as part of the validation. We are always topoing areas with RTK when we fly to validate the drone results because this drone is so new that there isn't a lot of info out there. Have you ever ground-truthed and staked out your drone surface? I just went through a 5 stage test that proves that PPK with gcps is superior to other methods. As far as gcps though, if you're not getting better results then something is wrong. I've heard more bad stories about losing rtk connection or corrupted data than I have goodВ ones so your story gives me a little bit more confidence. Where do I find this info? Didn't see it with the reams of info in the manual. So, for cm-level accuracy, I have to set up over a GCP? Also, I have not found a way to input Lat/Long into the base station in the case that I were to set up over a known point.

I don't know if it will actually fly in that case because I alway then turned itВ on to resolve the issue. The issue is that the controller won't have maps and the system complains mightily without it when you forget to turn itВ on. You don't need the wifi hotspot for flying that. I will caution you that the current software seems to have some issues in saying it's set but when you check you find it hasn't unless you change the Lat/long position ever so slightly. Having a previously surveyed point with a decimal lat/long you key in can also be done and setting up over that point means that you could repeat flights that should align from survey to survey. The key is that it doesn't move because the points the drone collects are relative to it. That base location is likely going to be within 4-5 feet of actual. The base station will find it's own lat/long wherever you put it and supply corrections to the drone. If anyone here has any knowledge or insight on this, it would be greatly appreciated. I understand that I can use a wifi hotspot to connect to a correction network (assuming there's one available for the area I'm working), but some of the sites I would be working at have little to no cellular coverage. I was hoping that this setup would reduce that time so I can fly multiple sites in a short time.

If I have to survey a location for the D-RTK 2, then that would add to the complexity and time for the job. If I have the D-RTK 2 mobile station, does it require a previously surveyed point for its location, in order to get RTK corrections when flying? Ideally, with my type of work, I would like to show up to a site, set up the D-RTK 2 station, begin my flight with the Phantom 4 RTK, and get RTK corrected location with the drone and ground station. I'm trying to get an important question answered, but haven't been able to so far. I'm researching drone platforms for mapping, and my company is considering a Phantom 4 RTK, with the D-RTK 2 mobile station.

* Once updated to v or above using DJI Assistant 2, the D-RTK 2 Mobile Station For Matrice Series is compatible with Phantom 4 RTK, P4 Multispectral, MG-1P RTK, Agras T16, Agras T20, Matrice 210 RTK V2, and Matrice 300 RTK by switching to the corresponding modes.Hello everyone. It also supports DPS (DJI Positioning Service), which provides high precision positioning data within the cover range of the base station, making it the ideal tool for surveying, aerial inspections, agriculture, and other industrial applications. The D-RTK 2 Mobile Station is compatible with Phantom 4 RTK, P4 Multispectral, MG-1P RTK, Agras T16, Agras T20, Matrice 210 RTK V2 and Matrice 300 RTK*. The built-in IMUs monitor movements and calibrate the tilt sensors to alert the operator of any abnormalities during the mission, minimizing risks. Featuring IP65 level ingress protection and a lightweight carbon fiber body, the D-RTK 2 Mobile Station is ultra-portable and up for any task, no matter how tough.
