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
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
meter 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 cover
the county extent. Two types of compression may be
used for NAIP imagery: MrSID and JPEG 2000. Target
value for the compression ratio is (15:1).
</abstract>
<purpose>
The 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 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.

None, The USDA-FSA Aerial Photography Field Office asks to
be credited in derived products.
If defects are found in the NAIP imagery during the warranty
period such as horizontal offsets, replacement imagery may be
provided. 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.

Digital frames captured with a ZI Intergraph DMC
with a footprint of 7680 x 13824 pixels were used
to create Digital Orthophoto Quarter Quadrangles.
DMC Serial Number 033 installed in a Rockwell 690B Turbo Commander N167R
was used to fly this area. Calibration reports
are on file with the USDA. 12 micron frames were
captured at eight bits with 2.5 - 2.7 foot pixel
using Windows Server 2003; ZI Mission Planning 6.2;
Intergraph GeoMedia 6.0; DMC Image Analyst 6.2;
DMC Post Processing 6.1; ZI Image Viewer 6.1;
Microsoft Access; Microsoft Excel; Delorme XMap 4.5
and Adobe PhotoShop. Flights ASL was 28,900 feet.
The state was flown in blocks for efficiency
of capture and in order to accommodate the
different elevations throughout the state.
Flight planning software includes Delorme 4.5;
Delorme Photo Flight 2.1.6; ZI Inflight V06.01.20.16;
ZI ImageView V06.01.20.16 ; ArcView 3.2; Microsoft Access;
and POSAV 2.1. Ground control points were collected
by Photo Science crews. External Orientation
files created from ABGPS data in Applanix
POSPac MMS Version 5.2 and are rectified
using ImageStation Project Manager 5.2;
Intergraph GeoMedia 6.0; and Intergraph OrthoPro 5.2.
Extensive Quality Control checks are performed
on the data throughout the production process.
Processed RAW Frames are checked for spectral compliance.
Rectified frames are checked for spatial accuracy and
also spectral compliance. DOQQs are thoroughly
checked for spectral and spatial accuracy in Iras/C
and Adobe PhotoShop. CCMs are checked for overall spectral
compliance and spatial accuracy in ArcGIS. Seamline
shapefiles are checked for gaps, slivers, overlaps
and multipart features by building a topology in ArcGIS.
Ground control points are read off of rectified frames
as a double-check and final DOQQs are used to calculate
RMSE values in MicroStation and Excel. Frames are
rectified with 10 meter NEDs in Intergraph OrthoPro.
This surface is checked for errors at the mosaicked
DOQQ level. If any areas presented problems, they are
noted in a Digital Elevation Model Errors ASCII text file.
