EUROPEAN SPACE IMAGING: AERIAL PHOTOGRAPHY QUALITY FROM SPACE ALL TIME ALL CONTINENT

Transcription

1 Senior Adviser to the European Space Imaging GmbH, Munich / Germany European Delegate of DDGI (German Geo-Information Umbrella Association) Member of the Executive Committee of EUROGI (European Umbrella for Geo-Information) Former head of Earth Monitoring Applications & Networks at DLR (German Aerospace Centre) Former head of Land Monitoring Service of COPERNICUS / GMES at the European Commission

2 Your area of interest is the European Continent or beyond? You want to see a <1m² change over the whole Continent in a few days? Observation satellites have grown mature for the task. European Space Imaging is the only partner in Europe to command the best civil observation satellite fleet in the world: Detail identification capability <40cm equals that of aerial photography Satellites cover ca. 2.5 Mio km² per day Flexible maneuvering permitsdaily revisit times (soon sub-daily) Withmany spectral bands (Wordlview-3 has 29) the thematic richness is unequalled This image of Brussels was taken on 8 July 2013 by Worldview-II from 770 km distance in a (legally limited) resolution of 50cm. WV-III is even better! We operate the satellites from Munich in partnership with the German Aerospace Centre DLR

3 In June 2014 the US restriction on satellite image resolution fell from 50 to 25 cm. Since then we have access to 31 cmsharp imagery from WorldView-3 satellite, launched August 2014 in a 617 km orbit

8 EXAMPLE: PROPERTY TAX INTRODUCTION IN GREECE Changes after day zero (28/07/2011) that had to be checked include new buildings, extensions/additions, fences and land ownership, new roads inside properties

9 EXAMPLE: PROPERTY TAX INTRODUCTION IN GREECE Findings for Paros Antiparos Island For a total area of 312 km2: 17 properties had different area declared and constructed.

10 THERE ARE NUMEROUS OTHER URBAN APPLICATIONS e.g. Quantification of Soil Loss or Energy Potential

11 EUROPEAN URBAN AREAS THAT ARE IN EUSI s ARCHIVE FROM COPERNICUS URBAN ATLAS APPLICATIONS

12 EXAMPLE: AGRICULTURAL PARCEL AND CROP IDENTIFICATION Controlling eligibility of crops for direct payment action within the EU CAP 2009 reform made LPIS restructuring (new Reference Parcels) necessary

19 IN TIMES OF UAV S SATELLITES STILL HAVE THEIR ADVANTAGES Many years lifetime in orbit during which images of standardised quality are delivered to users Identical image qualityacross continents Independencefrom local deployment infrastructures and physical or administrative restrictions Daily revisit times (soon sub-daily) and quick delivery Flexible programming up to minutes prior to overpass Spectral content often richer Weobserve that the geographic information market requests more frequent updates of images and geodata, reflecting the rising dynamism of processes on Earth. Do surveyors share this observation?
