Build a RTK GPS camera for photogrammetry

Posted by Alan Seymour on March 12, 2016 at 8:28am

I would like to assemble a camera that will record accurate GPS location data using RTK. 

My aim is to use a kite and/or blimp balloon for photogrammetry mapping. For this, I need high accuracy coordinate data to accompany my aerial photos.   

I have heard of low cost RTK receivers such as S2525F8-BD-RTK, and I know of GPS cameras, but how does one assemble and unite a RTK receiver to a GPS camera?

Or if there is an alternative method or advice, please share your knowledge. 

Thanks

Alan

    I have a couple Reach Rtk Gps systems and they will accomplish what you would like. They are built on an Intel Edison which you can connect to wireless (from your computer on the ground) and use it as a control for your camera. It also has an IMU for orientation at the time of the picture. The Reach board has the connections necessary to connect to a trigger board which connects to the camera. The development isn't finished yet, but they plan to have all these things supported. Or you can delve into it yourself.
