Study on the Positioning Accuracy of GNSS/INS Systems Supported by DGPS and RTK Receivers for Hydrographic Surveys
Hydrographic surveys, in accordance with the International Hydrographic Organization (IHO) S-44 standard, can be carried out in the following five orders: Exclusive, Special, 1a, 1b and 2, for which minimum accuracy requirements for the applied positioning system have been set out. They are as follo...

The Global Navigation Satellite System (GNSS) network solutions (accuracy: 2–3 cm (<i>p</i> = 0.95)) and the Differential Global Positioning System (DGPS) (accuracy: 1–2 m (<i>p</i> = 0.95)) are now commonly used positioning methods in hydrography.
