REACH RS+, RS2 and RS2+
Placing GCPs with Reach RS2 for DJI Mavic 4 RTK surveys, Thorsten Kahlert, Iceland
Placing Ground Control Points
Our customer KiteMap from Colombia flew over a site multiple times at different altitudes with DJI Phantom 4 Pro. They processed orthophoto and DEM and extracted contour lines.
Processing software relies only on the drone's GPS data recorded in its photos' EXIF. Therefore, the accuracy of the final orthophoto is only meter-level, so contour lines don't match.
Drone images are georeferenced with GCPs. The final orthophotos are accurate so the contour lines are almost identical and have the same shape.
Collect points
Create a survey project and collect data in your local coordinate system.
Coordinate systems based on
WGS84, NAD83, GDA2020, and others
Export GCP list to CSV
Record each position as a point with centimeter precise coordinates. You can export your survey project in CSV which is recognized by most mapping software.

Mapping Iceland Glaciers
We used two Emlid Reach RS, one as a base and the other as a rover, and were surprised by the good performance and long battery life in very windy, wet, and cold conditions.
Intertidal Oyster Reef Mapping with Reach RS
The Emlid receiver has proved to be an efficient means of surveying out in the field. A hotspot was used to connect the receiver via Wifi and GPS data was easily collected with a smartphone through the Emlid surveying application page.
Volume Measurement with DJI Phantom 4 and Reach RS+
Reach RS+ allowed us to quickly collect GCPs before drone mapping with Phantom 4 and helped to carry out precise volume measurements of the feldspar stock. The results obtained with a drone are identical to one obtained with a total station.
The Emlid Flow app and all features of Reach RS2+ and Reach RS+ are included
