According to new market research titled "Mid and High Level Precision GPS Market by Type, Application and Geography — Global Forecast to 2020," published by MarketsandMarkets, the Mid and High Level Precision GPS Market is expected to reach $3.09 Billion by 2020, growing at a CAGR of 16.36% between 2015 and 2020.
Centimeter-level high precision GPS positioning systems, based on networked Real Time Kinematics GPS (RTK-GPS) are being commercially operated across the world.
A recently devised method at sub meter or decimeter accuracy, which is more convenient and utilizes a low cost and compact code-ranging GPS receiver is being used to achieve better precision and accuracy in GPS products. Both of these methods significantly reduce the time and cost to produce precise satellite imagery based on Ground Control Point (GCP), as well as to update maps in a geo-centric coordinate wherein it is necessary to use satellite imagery with GPS.
