PPK vs RTK in drone mapping: choosing right technology for precision surveys https://blog.emlid.com/ppk-vs-rtk-in-drone-mapping-choosing-right-technology-for-precision-surveys/ PPK vs RTK in drone mapping: choosing right technology for precision surveys

In aerial mapping, your workflow mainly depends on the technology your drone employs—PPK (Post-Processing Kinematic) or RTK (Real-Time Kinematic). Each system has its own strengths and therefore is designed for specific scenarios. Understanding how each approach works will help you achieve accurate and reliable mapping results.
