High-accuracy positioning

High-accuracy positioning refers to techniques that provide precise location data, often within a few centimeters, compared to standard GPS, which can have errors of several meters. This increased accuracy is achieved using advanced technologies like differential GPS, satellite-based augmentation systems, or ground-based reference stations. High-accuracy positioning is essential in various applications, including autonomous vehicles, surveying, agriculture, and disaster response, where exact location information is critical for safety and efficiency. Essentially, it allows users to pinpoint their exact location more reliably and accurately, enhancing decision-making and operational effectiveness.
