Imaging systems comparisons remains today a sensitive subject because of the difficulty to merge radiometric and spatial dimensions into a single, easy to use, parameter. By leaning explicitly on professional image users and their requirements we show how to build such a criterion, called Mission-Quality. A specific observation campaign is described and its results are used to calibrate and carry first proof of the criterion adequacy.
