What makes a survey valid?

To be added to Clementina, a survey must meet a few basic requirements.

  1. 1.

    Images with GPS coordinates

    Photographs must preserve the location information recorded by the drone.

  2. 2.

    Sufficient coverage of the area of interest

    The survey must include the entirety of the site being documented.

  3. 3.

    Adequate overlap

    About 70% front and side overlap is recommended to enable photogrammetric processing.

  4. 4.

    Sharp images

    Out-of-focus or excessively shaky photographs can limit the generation of derived products.

  5. 5.

    Minimum survey information

    You must complete the basic flight data so it can be preserved and reused.
