Flight-Test Evaluation of Kinematic Precise Point Positioning of Small UAVs by Jason N. Gross, Ryan M. Watson, Stéphane D’Urso, Yu Gu

“…Because SUAVs are an attractive platform for applications such as aerial surveying, precision agriculture, and remote sensing, this paper offers an experimental evaluation of kinematic PPP estimation strategies using SUAV platform data. In particular, an analysis is presented in which the position solutions that are obtained from postprocessing recorded UAV flight data with various PPP software and strategies are compared to solutions that were obtained using traditional double-differenced ambiguity fixed carrier-phase Differential GPS (CP-DGPS). …”
