NAIP acquires digital ortho imagery during the agricultural growing seasons in the continental U.S.. A primary goal of the NAIP program is to enable availability of of ortho imagery within one year of acquisition. NAIP provides four main products: 1 meter ground sample distance (GSD) ortho imagery rectified to a horizontal accuracy of within +/- 5 meters of reference digital ortho quarter quads (DOQQ's) from the National Digital Ortho Program (NDOP); 2 meter GSD ortho imagery rectified to within +/- 10 meters of reference DOQQs; 1 meter GSD ortho imagery rectified to within +/- 6 meters to true ground; and, 2 meter GSD ortho imagery rectified to within +/- 10 meters to true ground. The tiling format of NAIP imagery is based on a 3.75' x 3.75' quarter quadrangle with a 300 meter buffer on all four sides. NAIP quarter quads are formatted to the UTM coordinate system using NAD83. NAIP imagery may contain as much as 10% cloud cover per tile. Purpose: NAIP imagery is available for distribution within 60 days of the end of a flying season and is intended to provide current information of agricultural conditions in support of USDA farm programs. For USDA Farm Service Agency, the 1 meter GSD product provides an ortho image base for Common Land Unit boundaries and other data sets. The 1 meter NAIP imagery is generally acquired in projects covering full states in cooperation with state government and other federal agencies who use the imagery for a variety of purposes including land use planning and natural resource assessment. With an annual cycle, NAIP is also used for disaster response often providing the most current pre-event imagery. While suitable for a variety of uses the 2 meter GSD NAIP imagery is primarily intended to assess crop condition and compliance to USDA farm program conditions. The 2 meter imagery is generally acquired only for agricultural areas within state projects.

Process_Step: Process_Description: The imagery was collected using ADS40-SH52 digital sensors.\n Collection was performed using a combination of twin-engine\n aircraft flying at an average flying height of 22000 and\n 27000 ft above mean terrain, with nominal sidelap of 21%,\n giving the collected data nominal ground sampling distance\n of 0.60 and 0.75 meters. Based-upon the CCD Array\n configuration present in the ADS40 digital sensor, imagery\n for each flight line is 12,000-pixels in width. Red, Green,\n Blue, Near-Infrared and Panchromatic image bands were\n collected.\n Collected data was downloaded to portable hard drives and\n shipped to the processing facility daily. Raw flight data\n was extracted from external data drives using GPro software.\n Airborne GPS / IMU data was post-processed using IPAS, PosPac\n and/or TerraPos software and reviewed to ensure sufficient\n accuracy for project requirements.\n Using Pictovera software, planar rectified images were\n generated from the collected data for use in image quality\n review. The planar rectified images were generated at five\n meter resolution using a two standard deviation histogram\n stretch. Factors considered during this review included but\n were not limited to the presence of smoke and/or cloud cover,\n contrails, light conditions, sun glint and any sensor or\n hardware-related issues that potentially could result in\n faulty data. When necessary, image strips identified as not\n meeting image quality specifications were re-flown to obtain\n suitable imagery.\n Aerotriangulation blocks were defined primarily by order of\n acquisition and consisted of four to seventeen strips.\n Image tie points providing the observations for the least\n squares bundle adjustment were selected from the images using\n an autocorrelation algorithm. Photogrammetric control points\n consisted of photo identifiable control points, collected\n using GPS field survey techniques. The control points were\n loaded in to a softcopy workstation and measured in the\n acquired image strips. A least squares bundle adjustment\n of image pass points, control points and the ABGPS was\n performed to develop an aerotriangulation solution for each\n block using Pictovera software. Upon final bundle\n adjustment, the triangulated strips were ortho-rectified to\n the USGS NED DEM for the project area. The images were\n re-sampled from the raw resolution of 0.85 meters to the\n required resolution of 1.0 meters.\n Positional accuracy was reviewed in the rectified imagery\n by visually verifying the horizontal positioning of the\n known photo-identifiable survey locations using ArcGIS\n software.\n The red, green, blue, and NIR bands were combined to\n generate a final ortho-rectified image strip. The ADS40\n sensor collects twelve bit image data which requires\n radiometric adjustment for output in standard eight bit\n image channels. The ortho-rectified image strips were\n produced with the full 12 bit data range, allowing\n radiometric adjustment to 8 bit range to be performed on\n a strip by strip basis during the final mosaicking steps.\n The imagery was mosaicked using manual seamline generation\n in Orthovista Seam Editor (OVSE). The 12 bit data range was\n adjusted for display in standard eight bit image channels by\n defining a piecewise histogram stretch using OrthoVista\n software. A constant stretch was defined for each image\n collection period, and then strip by strip adjustments were\n made as needed to account for changes in sun angle and\n azimuth during the collection period. Strip adjustments were\n also made to match the strips histograms as closely as\n possible to APFO specified histogram metrics and color\n balance requirements. Automated balancing algorithms\n were applied to account for bi-directional reflectance as\n a final step before the conversion to 8 bit data range.\n APFO specified DOQQs were extracted from the final mosaic\n in GeoTIFF format. 4-Band DOQQs were produced and 3-Band\n RGB CCMs were created. DOQQs corresponding to an individual\n CCM were reviewed for overall color balance within the CCM.\n Local corrections were made where necessary to ensure\n uniformity within the CCM. In the case of DOQQs occurring in\n more than one CCM, a separate version of the image was\n generated and balanced for each CCM it occurred in.\ Process_Date: 20111201 Spatial_Data_Organization_Information: Indirect_Spatial_Reference: Routt County, CO Direct_Spatial_Reference_Method: Raster Raster_Object_Information: Raster_Object_Type: Pixel Row_Count: 1 Column_Count: 1 Spatial_Reference_Information: Horizontal_Coordinate_System_Definition: Planar: Grid_Coordinate_System: Grid_Coordinate_System_Name: Universal Transverse Mercator Universal_Transverse_Mercator: UTM_Zone_Number: 13 Transverse_Mercator: Scale_Factor_at_Central_Meridian: 0.9996 Longitude_of_Central_Meridian: -105.0 Latitude_of_Projection_Origin: 0.0 False_Easting: 500000 False_Northing: 0.0 Planar_Coordinate_Information: Planar_Coordinate_Encoding_Method: row and column Coordinate_Representation: Abscissa_Resolution: 1 Ordinate_Resolution: 1 Planar_Distance_Units: meters Geodetic_Model: Horizontal_Datum_Name: North American Datum of 1983 Ellipsoid_Name: Geodetic Reference System 80 (GRS 80) Semi-major_Axis: 6378137 Denominator_of_Flattening_Ratio: 298.257 Entity_and_Attribute_Information: Overview_Description: Entity_and_Attribute_Overview: 32-bit pixels, 4 band color(RGBIR) values 0 - 255 Entity_and_Attribute_Detail_Citation: None Distribution_Information: Distributor: Contact_Information: Contact_Person_Primary: Contact_Person: Supervisor Customer Services Section Contact_Organization: USDA-FSA-APFO Aerial Photography Field Office Contact_Address: Address_Type: mailing and physical address Address: 2222 West 2300 South City: Salt Lake City State_or_Province: Utah Postal_Code: 84119-2020 Country: USA Contact_Voice_Telephone: 801-844-2922 Contact_Facsimile_Telephone: 801-956-3653 Contact_Electronic_Mail_Address: apfo.sales@slc.usda.gov Distribution_Liability: In no event shall the creators, custodians, or distributors of this information be liable for any damages arising out of its use (or the inability to use it).
