From: GNSS techniques for real-time monitoring of landslides: a review

Type

Accuracy range (mm)

Time

Applicable landslide scenarios

RTK

Horizontal: ±(3\(-\)8)

Vertical: ±(5\(-\)15)

≤ 10 s

It is suitable for real-time and high-precision monitoring of landslides within one area, but the baseline distance is less than 15 km and reference stations are necessary

NRTK

Horizontal: ±(5\(-\)10)

Vertical: ±(8\(-\)20)

≤ 10 s

It is suitable for real-time and high-precision monitoring landslides in multiple areas. The baseline distance is less than 100 km, and independent reference stations are unnecessary

PPP

Horizontal: ±(20\(-\)50)

Vertical: ±(50\(-\)100)

≥ 30 min

It is suitable for the stability monitoring of reference stations without the distance limitation, but precise products are necessary

PPP-RTK

Horizontal: ±(5\(-\)10)

Vertical: ±(8\(-\)20)

≤ 10 s

It is suitable for monitoring large landslide areas, and the service is more flexible
