Trimble has unveiled the integration of the Trimble Applanix POSPac Cloud post-processed kinematic (PPK) GNSS positioning service, featuring CenterPoint RTX, with the UAV-based mapping and data collection capabilities of DroneDeploy’s reality capture platform. With the Trimble cloud positioning service, DroneDeploy customers can expect centimetre-level accuracy and an automated, streamlined workflow when performing reality capture with drones.
To achieve centimetre-level accuracy with its high-accuracy offering, DroneDeploy collaborated with Trimble and its Applanix POSPac Cloud PPK service using Trimble post-processed CenterPoint RTX. The user-friendly cloud API enables the post-processing of GNSS kinematic positions based on dual-frequency observables logged by the drone and CenterPoint RTX.
The Trimble RTX family of corrections services offers users real-time and post-processed centimetre-level accuracy almost anywhere in the world. Delivering corrections via satellite or cellular/IP, Trimble RTX removes the need for base stations and simplifies workflows for drone operators. With no on-site setup, a fixed global datum, and reduced time in the field, the Applanix POSPac Cloud PPK solution with RTX greatly enhances accuracy and workflow efficiency.
