About “KLAU PPK-J Desktop For P4R”
It was developed to obtain accurate positioning information using the post-processing kinematic method (PPK method) using a virtual reference point. As the name implies, P4RTK is a drone developed for the purpose of obtaining accurate correction information via the Internet, but at the same time, it also has a PPK method function that does not require a network connection by default. Since the correction is performed in the post-processing, the obtained position accuracy is higher than that of the RTK method. Since the PPK method does not require continuous communication with a base station like RTK, it has the advantage of being able to collect positioning information even in sites that are not in a mobile environment such as mountainous areas. You will also be freed from data loss and flight range restrictions caused by broken links.
