RTK drones
A large number of drones now incorporate precision GPS which allows results to be obtained with centimeter precision, making it an effective tool for surveyors.
The use of a fixed base to obtain precise positioning in real time can present some heaviness, such as ensuring its precise geo-referencing so that the entire site is well set up or its monitoring.
Work with a national network
Using corrections from a network allows you to concentrate on the essentials of your mission and your site. It gives you more flexibility with the possibility of chaining distant missions since the service is available everywhere in France.
The network makes your life easier: no base to transport, install, set up or monitor.
Precision in all areas
The precision obtained makes it possible to work in a very large number of applications, such as :
-
- Architecture
- Construction, Construction
- Construction, inspection of works
- Volume calculation (earthworks)
- Thermometry
- Ortho photography
- Photogrammetry
- Multispectral imaging
- 3D modeling
- Bathymetry and maritime works
- Network management or implementation
- Urban heritage management
- Archeology
- Geology
- Oil and energy sector (survey of high voltage lines)
- Transportation (Rail)
- Forest
- Agronomy
- Precision agriculture
- Police work
Orphéon on demand
For your short-term work or for your short stays in France, we offer a series of GPS correction services.
Ideal when you know a mission is coming and you want to make sure everything will be ready on D-Day.
In order to offer offers perfectly adapted to the needs of users, we have designed several one-time subscription formulas. These various services are marketed exclusively on our website in the form of subscriptions or hourly packages specifically adapted to short periods.

Photogrammetry
Photogrammetry makes it possible to reconstruct surfaces from photographs acquired from different points of view using the parallax obtained between these images (principle of human stereoscopic vision).
Digital photography makes it possible to correlate the geometry of the images and their acquisition in order to more precisely model a 3D copy of the photographed scene.
The quality of each shot, the quality of the sensor, the brightness, the optical distortion, the ability to position the shots between them will influence the quality of this 3D modeling. It is therefore important that each shot is positioned precisely
Varied missions
In addition, the drone makes it possible to carry out surveys in dangerous areas and thus prevent people from exposing themselves to these dangers, this may be the case in quarries in the presence of construction machinery or even in unstable areas. as in landslides, which makes it possible to assign them increasingly varied professional missions, particularly in GIS.
Need for Precision
The natural position given by a GPS alone, gives a good idea of where it is within a few meters, but is not precise enough to allow precision work.
The Drone moving constantly throughout the work carried out, It requires corrections so that its precision is increased. These corrections must reach him continuously in real time or else each of the positions recorded with the photos will have to be corrected in post-processing.
The quality of the work obtained depends on the precision of these corrections, which themselves depend on the different technologies available, but also on the quality of reception of this information.
Today the integration of precision GNSS chips is democratizing by becoming affordable and makes it easy to imagine all kinds of practical uses for drones. It then becomes possible to integrate a centimeter-precision RTK receiver in a compact, lightweight and energy-efficient design to meet the requirements of these new applications and thus free the imagination and creativity.
Savings and increased productivity
With the geo-referencing of the images made during the shooting thanks to the on-board precision GPS, the working time of digital production is considerably reduced. In a single operation, the data is thus recorded and calibrated in the national reference system.
The integration of RTK GPS and latest-generation inertial units combined with GNSS corrections generated via the Orpheon network allows rapid implementation and simplified deployment, since they eliminate the need for a second GNSS receiver (basic ) nationwide.
These same corrections, provided by the Orphéon network, also facilitate the processing of data or images in real time or in post-processing. The professional reports generated are thus of better quality.
Choosing a software solution
Depending on your business applications (territorial analysis, infrastructure inspection, surveillance), it will be necessary to store and process all of this information. This dedicated software specifically adapted to drone issues will allow you to significantly save calculation time on your complex projects (digital models of dense surface MNS, digital terrain models MNT, detection of changes, etc.)
Our distributors are at your disposal to support you and offer you the solution best suited to your needs, do not hesitate to contact them.
Essential training
The use of an aerial drone is strictly regulated by strict legislation that few people are aware of. This legislation makes it possible to regulate the use of drones in the airspace to avoid serious incidents & accidents, while defining specific rules according to the categories to which they belong. It is therefore essential to have a theoretical ULM pilot certificate (from the DGAC) and a Declaration of Skills Level (DNC) recognized by the DGAC. He will therefore be able to professionally practice the profession of drone remote pilot.

Downloading RINEX files for Post Processing
Geodata offers, via an Internet connection to access a Web interface, the download of the RINEX files necessary to improve its positioning by differential methods in deferred time (post-processing).
Depending on the type of measurements carried out, fixed or mobile, several post-processing solutions are then possible in relation to a permanent physical station or in relation to a virtual station created from several physical stations.
compared to physical permanent stations
- PPK method: Kenematic post processing for mobile rover
- PPS method: Static post processing for fixed rover
compared to a virtual station
- N-PPK method: Network Post processing Kenematic for mobile rover
- N-PPK method: Network Post processing Kenematic for fixed rover
We offer an offer in the form of different time packages* adapted to your different needs. (*valid for 12 months from the date of subscription).
Do not hesitate to contact us for any additional information.
