How to use GCPs for Drone Mapping?

In this video, Varun from Hammer Missions will walk you through a complete end-to-end workflow on how to use #GCPs for #drone #mapping!
GCPs are known points on the Earth's surface that are precisely located and used as reference points for geo-referencing satellite or aerial imagery, in our case, drone mapping. These points help drone professionals and surveyors "peg" the drone map in the correct place for absolutely accuracy. Watch our video to learn more!

I’m using gcp’s for an interior map. Do I place the DJI RTK base station on say 3 of the GCP’s I’ve placed down? And if so, should I let the RTK gather data for say 15 minutes each?

[@HammerMissions]

Hi there! Yes, you should typically wait for the RTK / Base Station module to stabilise on each of the GCPs to note the correct positions. However, you might find that your true challenge is getting reliable GPS signal indoors!
