This data set contains imagery from the National
Agriculture Imagery Program (NAIP). The 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 ortho imagery within one year of
acquisition. The NAIP provides two main products: 1
meter ground sample distance (GSD) ortho imagery
rectified to a horizontal accuracy within +/- 5 meters
of reference digital ortho quarter quads (DOQQ's) from
the National Digital Ortho Program (NDOP) or from the
National Agriculture Imagery Program (NAIP); 1 meter
or 60cm GSD ortho imagery rectified within +/- 6
meters to true ground. The tiling format of NAIP imagery is
based on a 3.75' x 3.75' quarter quadrangle with a 300
pixel buffer on all four sides. The NAIP imagery is
formatted to the UTM coordinate system using the North
American Datum of 1983 (NAD83). The NAIP imagery may
contain as much as 10% cloud cover per tile. This file
was generated by compressing NAIP imagery that covers
the county extent. Two types of compression may be
used for NAIP imagery: MrSID and JPEG 2000. The target
value for the compression ratio is 15:1 for the 1 meter
imagery and 60:1 for the 60cm imagery.
</abstract>
<purpose>
The NAIP imagery is typically 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 and 60cm GSD product provides an
ortho image base for Common Land Unit boundaries and other
data sets. The 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. The NAIP is
also used for disaster response often providing the most
current pre-event imagery.

Digital imagery was collected at a nominal GSD of
40cm using nine Cessna 441, one Reims F406, one Piper and
one Merlin aircraft flying at an average flight height of
8400m AGL for the SH120 acquisition and 4400m AGL for
SH100 acquisition. Aircraft flew with Leica Geosystem's
ADS100/SH100 digital sensors with firmware 4.57 or
ADS100/SH120 digital sensors with firmware 4.57. Each
sensor collected 12 image bands Red,Green,Blue and
Near-infrared at each of three look angles; Backward 19
degrees, Forward 26 degrees and Nadir for the SH100.
Backward 10 degrees, Forward 14 degrees, and Nadir for
the SH120. The Nadir Green band was collected in high
resolution mode effectively doubling the resolution for
that band. The ADS100 spectral ranges are; Red 619-651nm,
Green 525-585nm, Blue 435-495nm and Near-infrared at
808-882nm. The CCD arrays have a pixel size of 5.0 microns
in a 20000x1 format at nadir; a 18000x1 format at the
backward look angle and a 16000x1 format at the forward
look angle. The CCD's have a dynamic range of 72db and
the A/D converters have a resolution of 14bits. The ADS
is a push-broom sensor the ground footprint of the imagery
is approximately 8km wide at a nominal 40cm GSD by the
length flightline. The maximum flightline length is limited
to approximately 175km. The factory calibrations and IMU
alignments for each sensor (Serial Numbers: 10511,10512,
10514,10522,10527,10530,10531,10534,10540,10554,12502)
were tested and verified by in-situ test flights before
the start of the project. The Leica MissionPro Flight
Planning Software is used to develop the flight acquisition
plans. Flight acquisition sub blocks are designed first to
define the GNSS base station logistics, and to break
the project up into manageable acquisition units. The
flight acquisition sub blocks are designed based on
the specified acquisition season, native UTM zone of
the DOQQs, flight line length limitations (to ensure
sufficient performance of the IMU solution) as well
as air traffic restrictions in the area. Once the sub
blocks have been delineated they are brought into
MissionPro for flight line design. The design
parameters used in MissionPro will be 30% lateral
overlap and 40cm resolution. The flight lines
have been designed with a north/south orientation or
east/west where required for efficiency.
The design takes into account the latitude of the
state, which affects line spacing due to convergence
as well as the terrain. SRTM elevation data is
used in the MissionPro design to ensure the 50cm
GSD is achieved over all types of terrain. The raw
data was downloaded from the sensors after each
flight using Leica XPro software. The imagery was
then georeferenced using the 200Hz GPS/INS data
creating an exterior orientation for each scan line
(x/y/z/o/p/k). Leica Xpro APM software was used to
automatically generate tiepoint measurements between
the forward, nadir and backward look angles for each line
and to tie all flight lines together. The resulting point
data and exterior orientation data were used to perform
a full bundle adjustment using ORIMA software. Blunders
were removed, and additional tie points measured in weak
areas to ensure a robust solution. Once the point data
was clean and point coverage was acceptable,
photo-identifiable GPS-surveyed ground control points
were introduced into the block adjustment. The bundle
adjustment process produces revised exterior orientation
data for the sensor with GPS/INS, datum, and sensor
calibration errors modeled and removed. Using the
revised exterior orientation from the bundle adjustment,
orthorectified image strips were created with Xpro
software and the June 2014 USGS 10m NED DEM. The Xpro
orthorectification software applies an atmospheric-BRDF
radiometric correction to the imagery. This correction
compensates for atmospheric absorption, solar
illumination angle and bi-directional reflectance. The
orthorectified strips were then overlaid with each other
and the ground control to check accuracy. Once the accuracy
of the orthorectified image strips were validated the
strips were then imported into Inpho's OrthoVista 7.0
package which was used for the final radiometric
balance, mosaic, and DOQQ sheet creation. The final
DOQQ sheets, with a 300m buffer and a ground pixel
resolution of 1m or 60cm were then combined and compressed
to create the county wide CCMs.
