INTRODUCTION 24 member states participated in the 2007 CwRS campaign. This poster presents an overview of the images acquired, sensors used, success rates and expenditure. VHR Feasibility was made for 227 VHR sites covering 157.565 km2. The area to be covered increased with 24% and the number of sites with 28% in comparison to 2006 years campaign. Half of the increase in VHR area is attributed to the new Member States Romania and Bulgaria. The success rate for the dedicated sensors (Ikonos, Quickbird), which the last 2 campaigns has been 99-100%, decreased to 97 %. The main reason for this was the cloudy weather and to a less extent the high concentration of sites. HR Sensors used were SPOT 2, 4, 5, IRS P6, Landsat 5 and DMC as usual on a first come first served basis. The HR optical imagery requested by MS continues to decrease from 4 images/site in 2005 to 3 images/site in 2007. The total number of HR sites is however still increasing; the 2007 campaign covered 227 HR sites (c.f. 192 in 2006). This year acquisitions were planned for 689 images. 97% of the images were acquired. HR SAR data was only requested by 2 MS (17 zones) and only the 1° image of the triplet was acquired due to availability of HR optical imagery.

LIO QUICKLOOK BROWSERThe VHR Browser, which allows the viewing and downloading of VHR quicklooks, was integrated into LIODOTNET for the 2006 campaign. In 2007 it was further developed to allow, not only VHR quicklooks, but also georeferenced HR quicklooks (SPOT) in the quicklook browser.

EXPENDITURE 2007

All sites (incl. HR only) to be defined by shapefile

As a general rule, MS are to define window for VHR acquisition and the desired dead period between following HR windows. The image acquisition team will manage the exact opening date of the HR window based on the date of the acquisition of VHR dedicated

For sites with backup: If no dedicated VHR has been acquired after 20 days (average acquisition time), backup(and HR if needed) will open. Therefore all VHR windows will have a multispectral component

VHR DEDICATED IMAGERY

3 clear trends: Total area increases, the average control zone becomes smaller and the average time needed to collect the imagery decreases

6 Sites failed (BE, NL, FR, IE). Mainly due to cloudy weather but also internal competition between sites

In July, 2 QB sites (FR) were re-allocated to IK. In addition, a speculative partial acquisitionmade by IK was accepted.

An ad hoc request was received for 6 additional control zones (DE) due to failure of the aerial photography planned. Due to the efficient management of the budget (closure of backup etc) this request could be accommodated and 3 sites were collected by IK, and one by SPS, during a 2 week window

HR OPTICAL IMAGERY

90 % of all HR optical images are acquired by the SPOT family

The bad weather in the late spring/early summer is the reason for failed acquisitions (DE, NL, UK. SE)

10 windows were closed before window end without acquisition due to availability of VHR dedicated or aerial photography.

However, in many cases VHR & HR windows are overlapping images are often acquired on the same day and duplicate imagery have to be purchased
