EMLID RTK GNSS – REACH M+

Connect Reach to a hot shoe port on a camera

Every time a photo is taken camera produces a pulse on a flash hot-shoe connector which is synced to a shutter opening.

Fly a drone, Reach will record photo events

Reach captures flash sync pulses with sub-microsecond resolution and stores them in a raw data RINEX log in internal memory.

Download logs from Reach and base station

After the flight get the RINEX logs from your airborne Reach module and a base station (Reach RS, CORS or other receiver).

Process logs and get a file with geotags of photos

Process RINEX files using the free RTKLIB software. Produced file with precise coordinates of the photos can be used for georeferencing.

3DroneMapping completes PPK trials with the average zero mean error in all axes

Luke Wijnberg, 3DroneMapping

As a brief synopsis of the results, the maximum deviation of points was no more than 0.09m in all axis. This is an incredible result given the fact that the average pixel size of the resulting imagery was 0.045m. It is interesting to note that the average mean error in all axes is 0.00m!

Tuffwing gets 4cm precision without GCPs with Emlid Reach RTK

Brian Christal, Tuffwing

Tuffwing recently performed integration of Emlid Reach RTK to enable making precision maps without use of GCPs. The system was benchmarked by comparing direct georeferenced model with a set of GCPs, used solely for error detection purposes. Achieved lateral RMS error is just 4cm according to the Pix4D quality report.

Event38 integrates Emlid Reach and starts providing ready-to-go PPK mapping solution

Jeff Taylor, Event38

In this case study, we produced an orthomosaic in the Drone Data Management System™ with 2.45cm horizontal and 5.08cm vertical RMSE, as compared with a survey-grade GPS on the ground.
