Abstract:
This data set contains imagery from the National Agricultural Imagery Program (NAIP). NAIP acquires digital orthoimagery during the agricultural growing seasons in the continental U.S.. A primary goal of the NAIP program is to enable availability of orthoimagery within a year of acquisition. NAIP provides two main products: 1 meter ground sample distance (GSD) orthoimagery rectified to a horizontal accuracy of within +/- 5 meters of reference digital ortho quarter quads (DOQQS) from the National Digital Ortho Program (NDOP); and, 2 meter GSD orthoimagery rectified to within +/- 10 meters of reference DOQQs. The tiling format of NAIP imagery is based on a 3.75' x 3.75' quarter quadrangle with a 360 meter buffer on all four sides. NAIP quarter quads are rectified to the UTM coordinate system NAD83. NAIP imagery can obtain 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 orthoimage 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 that 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.
Supplemental_Information:
The data obtained through The National Map Seamless Server is considered to be the "best available" data from USGS. Historical data and other data may be obtained by contacting Customer Services, Earth Resources Observation & Science Center, at 1-800-252-4547. Initial Processing Steps, Accuracy Reports and Source Information are taken directly from the original metadata.Spatial-specific information not available

Access_Constraints:
Any downloading and use of these data signifies a user's agreement to comprehension and compliance of the USGS Standard Disclaimer. Insure all portions of metadata are read and clearly understood before using these data in order to protect both user and USGS interests.
Use_Constraints:
Users should be aware that this is an interim release. The interim compressed county mosaic may contain defects and have horizontal accuracy less than the specified tolerances. Imagery may be replaced to address defects found in a small number of products through quality assurance processes. Imagery containing defects that require the acquisition of new imagery, such as excessive cloud cover, specular reflectance, etc., will not be replaced within a NAIP project year. There is no guarantee of warranty concerning the accuracy of the data. Users should be aware that temporal changes may have occurred since this data set was collected and that some parts of this data may no longer represent actual surface conditions. Users should not use this data for critical applications without a full awareness of its limitations. Acknowledgement of the originating agencies would be appreciated in products derived from these data. Any user who modifies the data is obligated to describe the types of modifications they perform. User specifically agrees not to misrepresent the data, nor to imply that changes made were approved or endorsed by the U.S. Geological Survey. Please refer to <http://www.usgs.gov/privacy.html> for the USGS disclaimer.

Process_Step:
Process_Description:
Imagery was flown with Leica ADS40 digital sensors tocapture 0.9m raw data. Raw data is then downloadedusing Leica GPro software into 12 bit TIFF format.The raw TIFF imagery is then georeferenced andreprojected using GPS/INS 200Hz exterior orientationinformation (x/y/z/o/p/k). Technicians preciselymeasure ground control and tie points in 3 bands/looks(Back/Nadir/Forward) for each line. The resulting pointdata, ground control, and orientation data is used toperform a full bundle adjustment. Any blunders areremoved, and weak areas are manually supplemented toensure good coverage of points. Once the point datais cleaned and point coverage is acceptable controlpoints from the prior generation MDOQQ's and sourceDEM are introduced in the corners and center of theblock being adjusted. This control is used to performany datum shift (x/y/z and rotation) to ensure the newadjusted imagery fits the existing MDOQQ referenceimagery. The output from this bundle adjustmentprocess is revised exterior orientation data for thesensor with any GPS/INS, datum, and sensor calibrationerrors modeled and compensated for. Using this revisedEO data orthorectified image strips are created usingthe USGS DEM. The 10m DEM is used where available and30m DEM is used elsewhere. The orthorectified stripsare overlaid with the existing MDOQQ compressed filesto ensure accuracy is met by visual inspection andmanually measuring features. Once the accuracy of theorthorectified image strips are validated the stripsare processed with a NWG proprietary dodging packagethat compensates for the bi-directional reflectancefunction that is caused by the sun's position relativeto the image area. This compensated imagery is thenimported into Inpho's OrthoVista 4.0 package which isused for the final radiometric balance, mosaic, andDOQQ sheet creation.These final DOQQ sheets contain a300m minimum buffer. These final DOQQ tiles are edgeinspected to the existing MDOQQ sheets for accuracyvalidation.
