RTK Satellite Navigation
From Open Source Ecology
Basics
- An Abbreviation for Real Time Kinematic Satellite Navigation
- Essentially Satellite Navigation but more precise
- This is done via a basestation sending correction data to the moving componet, known as the "rover unit"
- Many rovers can use one base station See this post on how to do this effectively
- All in all this can produce anywhere from centimeter to single didgit milimeter accuracy depending the setup
- VERY useful for RC and Autonomous Vehicle Applications
- Also used for surveying
- Basestations can be a service for larger scale, or purchased/built and placed/operated by the user
