Septentrio was selected by Wingtra to supply GNSS OEM receiver boards and PPK processing software for the new WingtraOne PPK drone. The combination of vertical take-off and landing (VTOL) technology and a high-spec post-process kinematics (PPK) brings wide-area coverage at high precision. The AUV incorporates the AsteRx-m2 UAS OEM board, which is well suited to photogrammetry applications requiring high-precision, low-latency positioning. The board is designed for quick and easy integration. In a one-hour flight, this UAV can cover 130 ha (delivering mapping with GSDs below 1 cm/px, with absolute accuracy down to 1,27 cm. Following a flight, the GNSS data of the UAV is processed offline using the PPK software. This combines the UAV data with correction data from a nearby reference receiver to get accurate cm-level geolocations for every photograph. The on-board high-resolution Sony RX1RII camera, AsteRx-m2 UAS receiver board combined with Septentrio’s PPK library and Pix4D photogrammetry processing software are able to produce ground precisions of 1,3 cm horizontally and 2,3 cm vertically.
