Real-Time Kinematics
Real-Time Kinematics (RTK) is a satellite navigation technique that enhances the precision of position data derived from Global Navigation Satellite Systems (GNSS). By using a fixed base station and a mobile receiver, RTK can achieve centimeter-level accuracy in real-time. The base station sends correction signals to the mobile receiver, allowing it to adjust its position calculations based on the discrepancies between its own measurements and those from the base station.
RTK is widely used in various applications, including surveying, agriculture, and autonomous vehicles. Its ability to provide accurate positioning in real-time makes it essential for tasks that require high precision, such as mapping and construction.
