Agricultural plant protection drones, by accessing the centimeter-level high-precision positioning service provided by SpatiX, can perform high-precision autonomous flight, achieve centimeter-level positioning and spraying, and form threefold advantages in efficiency, quality, and cost.
With the increasing demands for the quality, efficiency, and safety of drone plant protection in practical applications, RTK (Real-time kinematic) carrier phase difference technology has been integrated into agricultural plant protection drones. With this technology, drones can achieve centimeter-level high-precision positioning and perform centimeter-level autonomous flight according to pre-set routes.
As the application of drone plant protection further deepens, the problems of traditional RTK applications have gradually become prominent: first, it is necessary to set up base stations, calibrate and adjust them, which takes a long time to prepare and is complicated to operate; second, there is a large cost investment in the purchase, operation, and maintenance of base station equipment; third, the positioning accuracy of drones will change with the distance from a single base station, affecting the quality of plant protection operations.
In contrast, the centimeter-level high-precision positioning service provided by SpatiX belongs to the category of network RTK, which is more suitable for the large-scale promotion and expansion of agricultural plant protection drones.
High efficiency: Within SpatiX Cors Center, a unified spatiotemporal reference has been established to realize a unified reference for farmland data and routes, avoiding repeated surveying and mapping.
High quality: Wide-area centimeter-level positioning, relying on grid-distributed ground-based reference stations, provides drones with high-precision positioning with uniform accuracy, and has strong anti-magnetic interference capability, ensuring the safe flight of drones even in complex environments.
Low cost: Within the service coverage of SpatiX, drone manufacturers no longer need to set up and maintain mobile base stations and fixed base stations.
