  Description:
    Abstract:
      This data set contains imagery from the National Agriculture
      Imagery Program (NAIP).  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. NAIP provides two
      main products: 1 meter ground sample distance (GSD) ortho
      imagery rectified to a horizontal accuracy of within +/- 3
      meters of reference digital ortho quarter quads (DOQQ's) from
      the National Digital Ortho Program (NDOP); and, 2 meter GSD
      ortho imagery 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 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.
      This file was generated by compressing NAIP quarter quadrangle
      tiles that cover a county.  MrSID compression, with mosaic
      option, was used.  Target values for the compression ratio
      are (15:1) and the maximum compression zoom levels are used.
    Purpose:
      NAIP imagery may be distributed on an interim basis to meet
      USDA program requirements.  The interim product is a
      compressed county mosaic.  Users should be aware that the
      interim compressed county mosaic may contain defects and
      have horizontal accuracy less than the specified tolerances.
      Defective imagery may be replaced within one year of image
      acquisition date.

    Process_Step:
      Process_Description:
         Minify (resample) 1 band per flight line and ascertain the viability 
         of the images for full processing. Describe cloud cover, cloud 
         shadow, haze or other flaws. Record the row and sample coordinates 
         associated with each flaw for subsequent tracking. 
         POS data records the position of the aircraft in space, taking into 
         account any turbulence or similar motion effects. POS processing 
         takes this positional data and reconciles it to the raw image data, 
         thereby geo-referencing the imagery and effectively transforming it 
         from a “picture” to a crude map. This step results in L0 imagery. 
         The horizontal accuracy of the orthorectified imagery is 
         primarily determined by the quality of the airborne GPS, Inertial 
         Measurement Unit (IMU) data and the surface model (digital elevation 
         model or DEM).
         Rectify the Level0 imagery for the Pan-A sensor bands to an 
         intermediate planar elevation. Rectification adjusts the imagery to 
         account for known, optical characteristics that are inherent to the 
         sensor platform.
         Automatic Point Matching processing operates against the fully 
         minified Level-1 images. APM uses intelligent, optical pixel 
         matching routines to detect common image points across pairs of 
         overlapping images, including the forward, nadir and backward 
         looking sensors, as well as adjacent image strips. APM processing 
         derives a list of probable, matched points, and writes them out as 
         terrain points in a supporting file to be used in subsequent ORIMA 
         processing.
         ORIMA orientation Management processing is a fundamental component of 
         photogrammetric processing for traditional, film-based frame aerial 
         photography. The ORIMA software modifies and updates the processing 
         for use in the context of line scanner digital imagery. ORIMA 
         processing uses the terrain point data that was generated under APM 
         to calculate image shift based upon fundamental principles of 
         triangulation.
         Orthorectify images which means that the imagery is reconciled 
         against a Digital Terrain Model (DTM); The DTM model used is the 
         National elevation data set. The imagery will be adjusted to reflect 
         terrain variations, and its horizontal geo-referencing is highly 
         accurate.
         Perform thorough Quality Assessment of all Level-2 GeoTIFF images. 
         Quantify horizontal accuracy at established, quarantined locations 
         by comparing Level-2 coordinates to stereo pairs. Check all images 
         for DTM (Digital Terrain Model) anomalies and DTM dropout. Record 
         the coordinates associated with each error for subsequent tracking. 
         Color balancing is performed to compensate for natural, east/west 
         lighting variations in the imagery and daily lighting and humidity 
         variances.  A graduated adjustment of the brightness and contrast 
         within the RGB spectrum 
         using mosaicing software. Mosaicing software also corrects for 
         slight horizontal discrepancies between adjacent flight line images, 
         and performs automated adjustments to reduce visibility of seams. 
         DOQQs are color and radiometrically balanced over a block consisting 
         of a large number of images. A sample of DOQQs is selected and 
         inspected for relative horizontal accuracy with the USDA furnished 
         DOQQs. Completed and approved DOQQs are assembled into a countywide 
         MrSID file, using a compression factor of 1:15.
