Professional UAV positioning software

Turn your drone’s GNSS observations into accurate camera positions for professional mapping. KlauPPK processes positioning data from DJI and other supported mapping drones, giving you reliable coordinates and quality information for your photogrammetry workflow.

DJI and non-DJI compatibility · Professional PPK processing · Developed for mapping workflows since 2014

Accurate UAV mapping starts with better positioning

Your aircraft captures imagery and GNSS observations in the field. The quality of the final map depends on how accurately the position of every image is determined. KlauPPK processes those observations after the flight, so better positioning data enters photogrammetry and you can assess the result before committing it to the deliverable.

Accurate positioning. Reliable processing. Defensible results.

From flight data to mapping output

Capture - fly the mission and collect imagery, GNSS observations and camera-event data.

Process - import the mission into KlauPPK and process it against CORS, base-station or other supported correction data.

Map - export geotagged imagery or coordinate files into your preferred photogrammetry software.

Do not let a lost correction link decide the job

RTK can deliver excellent results, but it relies on corrections being available during flight. PPK records the observations and applies corrections afterwards. You can process, review and optimize the solution after capture, without depending on a continuous in-flight link.

RTK solves positioning in the field. PPK gives you control after the flight.

The hidden cost of positioning errors

A positioning issue may only become visible when the imagery reaches photogrammetry. Then come reprocessing, extra control, troubleshooting, delayed delivery and, at worst, another trip to site. KlauPPK helps you assess and optimize the positioning first, before it becomes a project problem.

  • Reduce time spent sourcing and preparing base data.

  • Reduce manual attempts to resolve float solutions.

  • Reduce the risk of a preventable site revisit.

  • Deliver coordinates in the system and vertical datum the project requires.

Built for professional mapping

Capability and what it means for the workflow?

Multi-pass processing - Forward, reverse and adjusted processing options help resolve difficult data.

Quality assurance - Review solution status and processing quality before photogrammetry.

CORS integration - Find and retrieve supported correction data inside the workflow.

Coordinate systems and geoids - Prepare outputs for the project’s required reference system and height model.

Smart geotagging - Write processed coordinates and supported accuracy information into imagery.

Photogrammetry-ready exports - Move results into Metashape, Pix4D and other supported workflows.

Works with the aircraft professionals are flying

KlauPPK supports current and established DJI Enterprise aircraft plus a growing range of alternative professional platforms. Explore the Supported Drones hub for the current status and workflow for your model.

Professional positioning experience

KlauPPK is developed by Klau Geomatics, an Australian geospatial technology company. The software reflects years of work with GNSS processing, coordinate systems, mapping outputs and the practical demands of UAV projects.
