What is GNSS RTK Rover?
RTK is a technique used to improve the accuracy of a standalone GNSS receiver. Traditional GNSS receivers, like the one in a smartphone, could only determine the position with 2-4 meters (7-13 feet) accuracy. RTK can give you centimeter accuracy.
Do I need a base station for RTK?
Historically, RTK users have been required to setup and maintain their own RTK base station. This is expensive and inconvenient. Many federal, state and local government agencies have setup RTK bases to increase RTK efficiency for their employees.
What is Leica GS18?
GS18 I is an accurate and easy to use GNSS RTK Rover. It utilises highly innovative Visual Positioning technology based on seamless integration of GNSS, IMU and a camera. It enables you to measure points in survey-grade accuracy from images either in the field or in the office.
What is RTK used for?
RTK stands for Real-Time Kinematic and is a technique that uses carrier-based ranging and provides ranges (and therefore positions) that are orders of magnitude more precise than those available through code-based positioning.
What does RTK stand for?
Real-Time Kinematic
RTK stands for Real-Time Kinematic and is a technique that uses carrier-based ranging and provides ranges (and therefore positions) that are orders of magnitude more precise than those available through code-based positioning. RTK techniques are complicated.
What is a smart Rover?
Safety Equipment Smartrovers are an all-on-the-pole GPS solution utilising the power of Leica SmartNet to provide correction data from Leica’s servers via a mobile internet connection, resulting in high accuracy and features such as instant OS coordinates.
What is Leica captivate?
Leica Captivate is a user-friendly survey field software designed to help you tackle any surveying task. Whether measuring, viewing or sharing data, everything is done in one software with easy-to-use apps and precise 2D views and 3D models.
What is RTK vs GPS?
RTK is a special form of Differential GPS that gives about one-hundred times greater accuracy. The GPS system uses a coded signal from which a receiver derives distance and thus position. The code is a string of bits, like the ones and zeros in a computer.
Who uses RTK?
RTK is mainly used for applications that require higher accuracy such as cadastral surveying, construction activities, and drones navigation. Surveying with GNSS RTK receiver saves time, energy, and cost allowing more work to get done with accurate results.
Where is RTK used?
RTK is used for applications that require higher accuracies, such as centimetre-level positioning, up to 1 cm + 1 ppm accuracy.
What is Leica Geo Office?
Leica Geo Office survey and engineering software allows you to utilise the full potential of you data. With Leica Geo Office software you can view and manage your TPS, GPS and Level data in an integrated way. It also allows you to process independently or combine your data.
What can RTK do?
Real-Time Kinematic (RTK) Real-time kinematic is a technique used to enhance the precision of position data derived from satellite-based positioning systems, which relies on a single reference station or interpolated virtual station to correct geotagged locations while in flight.
How do I download data from Leica total station?
Exporting Data from Leica Total Station (TCR1105)
- Open the Leica Survey Office software on your laptop or PC computer.
- Click on the Coordinate Editor icon from the Main Tools menu.
- Open the Raw Data File “measured job”.
