COLLABORATIVE DATA PLATFORM

Clementina
Patagónica

Drone-based environmental monitoring with centralized processing.

We centralize drone surveys and derived products to build comparable environmental monitoring and generate useful information for science and conservation.

THE FLOW

From fieldwork to the public map

Three steps to transform drone images into accessible environmental products and monitoring.

STEP 01

You upload your images

Upload RAW or JPG images directly after a field trip. The platform organizes extensive surveys and heavy files without manual splitting.

Processing in Clementina
STEP 02

We process in Clementina

We generate georeferenced products from your images and you follow processing in real time. All results stay linked to the original survey.

STEP 03

We publish the map

Define the access level for the survey (public, collaborative or restricted). Derived products remain available with clear licensing and traceability, while the original images are safeguarded without being published.

DATA GOVERNANCE

Open data, with responsibility

We apply two complementary frameworks: FAIR, so data is findable and reusable, and CARE, so its use respects those who generated it and the territories it documents. Every published survey includes a suggested citation, a visible CC-BY 4.0 license and open formats (GeoTIFF, JPEG, PDF), making it reusable and traceable. Original images are never published: the author defines which products are visible and under what conditions, while source material remains under institutional custody. Three access levels coexist —Public, Collaborative and Restricted— and the author picks one based on site sensitivity and project stage.

Public

Allows exploring and downloading derived products from the open map. Anyone can access; authorship stays explicit. When: non-sensitive monitoring, institutional coverage, outreach.

Collaborative

Enables contact between users and authors to generate collaborations and share access to specific surveys. When: work in progress, theses, pre-publication campaigns.

Restricted

Keeps the existence and perimeter of the survey visible, but safeguards its content for sensitive sites or information under study. When: archaeological sites, endangered species, sensitive data.

DERIVED PRODUCTS

Digital elevation models

Beyond the orthomosaic, each survey can generate a georeferenced Digital Elevation Model (DEM) and JPG previews. DEMs provide terrain height information and are the basis for erosion, hydrology and morphological change analyses.
