RTKdata provided network RTK corrections that enabled DRONEWERX to streamline a drone mapping project in Southern Nevada.
By connecting to RTKdata via NTRIP and using an RTK-enabled DJI workflow, the crew avoided deploying ground control points and did not need to set up a local RTK base station. The approach maintained centimeter-level positioning accuracy embedded in the image metadata for professional mapping deliverables.
The project involved capturing a repeatable, georeferenced map of a large facility footprint that included multiple structures and yard areas. The mission was flown at approximately 200 feet above ground level using an automated photogrammetry route with parallel flight lines. Approximately 250 images were planned to generate an orthomosaic and related outputs.
Compared to GCP-heavy workflows or operating a local base station, using RTKdata reduced on-site labor and setup time. The workflow removed tasks such as target placement, GNSS measurements, and base station configuration, which can add significant time to field operations. The result was a faster, simplified mapping process with consistent georeferencing suitable for engineering, construction planning, and asset documentation purposes.
