Quick Question - RTK/PPK precision, drone image position accuracy

[someDude]

Hello,

For my use case, I will not do any 3D reconstruction, but I COULD do it with the images that I acquire. But I need an accuracy of the camera locations of better than 3-4cm in all directions. Now I'm reading all sorts of stuff how people are improving their "precision", by putting just a few ground control points into their scan.

So here's my question for you pros:
Does this use of GCPs improve only the precision of the SCAN DATA, or also the precision of the CAMERA POSITIONS (my area of interest)?

I'll be using a rtk/ppk drone (probably DJI P4.pro.RTK), so the proclaimed camera location precision is a few cm. I'm just wondering if that is marketing speech and I really should use the scan data, to ensure that the camera positions are ALWAYS at this level of accuracy.

Thanks for your wisdom.

Ok, so I might have found the answer here: https://youtu.be/Vjbol1_7958?t=1762
So the rtk drone image positions are essentially ACPs (air control points), and the possible error without GCPs is a vertical bias, that occurs (logically) due to the way the point cloud point positions are calculated. So for my case, no problem, the GCPs are only needed for model reconstruction.
thank you myself

Naaa, I'm taking that back. watched the linked yt-webcast to the end now. So ground control points CAN help to reveal possible z-value errors in the rtk-data, if you messed up something I did not fully understand yet.
Takeaway: doublecheck your data...

The cameras are positioned in 3D space using the ground control points as an imput. It's not just for revealing Z errors. RTK GPS error isn't the only thing you have to worry about, also the angle of the cameras. If a camera is 1 degree off from nadir, that alone adds a huge amount of error.
