- Abstract:
-
This data set contains imagery from the National Agriculture
Imagery Program (NAIP). The NAIP program is administered by
USDA FSA and has been established to support two main FSA
strategic goals centered on agricultural production.
These are, increase stewardship of America's natural resources
while enhancing the environment, and to ensure commodities
are procured and distributed effectively and efficiently to
increase food security. The NAIP program supports these goals by
acquiring and providing ortho imagery that has been collected
during the agricultural growing season in the U.S. The NAIP
ortho imagery is tailored to meet FSA requirements and is a
fundamental tool used to support FSA farm and conservation
programs. Ortho imagery provides an effective, intuitive
means of communication about farm program administration
between FSA and stakeholders.
New technology and innovation is identified by fostering and
maintaining a relationship with vendors and government
partners, and by keeping pace with the broader geospatial
community. As a result of these efforts the NAIP program
provides three main products: DOQQ tiles,
Compressed County Mosaics (CCM), and Seamline shape files
The Contract specifications for NAIP imagery have changed
over time reflecting agency requirements and improving
technologies. These changes include image resolution,
horizontal accuracy, coverage area, and number of bands.
In general, flying seasons are established by FSA and are
targeted for peak crop growing conditions. The NAIP
acquisition cycle is based on a minimum 3 year refresh of base
ortho imagery. The tiling format of the NAIP imagery is based
on a 3.75' x 3.75' quarter quadrangle with a 300 pixel buffer
on all four sides. NAIP quarter quads are formatted to the UTM
coordinate system using the North American Datum of 1983.
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 and 1/2 meter
GSD product provides an ortho image base for Common Land Unit
boundaries and other data sets. The 1 meter and 1/2 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. The NAIP is also used
for disaster response. While suitable for a variety of uses,
prior to 2007 the 2 meter GSD NAIP imagery was primarily intended
to assess "crop condition and compliance" to USDA farm program
conditions. The 2 meter imagery was generally acquired only
for agricultural areas within state projects.

NAIP horizontal accuracy specifications have evolved over
the life of the program. From 2003 to 2004 the
specifications were as follows: 1-meter GSD imagery was
to match within 3-meters, and 2-meter GSD to match within 10
meters of reference imagery. For 2005 the 1-meter GSD
specification was changed to 5 meters matching the reference
imagery. In 2006 a pilot project was performed using true
ground specifications rather than reference imagery. All
states used the same specifications as 2005 except Utah,
which required a match of +/- 6 meters to true ground.
In 2007 all specifications were the same as 2006 except
Arizona used true ground specifications and all other states
used reference imagery. In 2008 and subsequent years
no 2-meter GSD imagery was acquired and all specifications
were the same as 2007 except approximately half of the
states acquired used true ground specifications and the
other half used reference imagery. The 2008 states that
used absolute ground control where; Indiana, Minnesota,
New Hampshire, North Carolina, Texas, Vermont, and Virginia.
From 2009 to present all NAIP imagery acquisitions used
the +/- 6 meters to ground specification.

DOQQ Production Process Description
USDA FSA APFO NAIP Program 2015
State: New York
The imagery was collected using the following digital sensors:
Leica ADS-100 (Serial Number 10542)
Leica ADS-100 (Serial Number 10547)
Leica ADS-100 (Serial Number 10541)
with Flight and Sensor Control Management
System (FCMS) firmware 4.40.
Cameras are calibrated radiometrically and geometrically
by the manufacturer and are all certified by the USGS.
Collection was performed using a combination of the
following twin-engine aircraft:
Turbines flying at 20,000 ft above mean terrain
(tail number: AC90 N690LN)
(tail number: AC90 N910FC)
(tail number: BE20 N42Z)
With these flying heights, there is a 28% sidelap,
giving the collected data nominal ground sampling distance
of 0.48 meters at 20,000.
Based-upon the CCD Array configuration present in
the ADS digital sensor, imagery for each flight
line is 12,000-pixels in width. Red, Green, Blue,
Near-Infrared and Panchromatic image bands were collected.
The ADS 100 has the following band specifications:
Red 619-651
Green 525-585
Blue 435-495
Near Infrared 808-882
all values are in nanometers
Collected data was downloaded to portable hard drives and
shipped to the processing facility daily. Raw flight data
was extracted from external data drives using GPro software.
Airborne GPS / IMU data was post-processed using INYS,
PosPac and/or TerraPos software and reviewed to ensure
sufficient accuracy for project requirements.
Using XPro software, planar rectified images were
generated from the collected data for use in image quality
review. The planar rectified images were generated at five
meter resolution using a two standard deviation histogram
stretch. Factors considered during this review included but
were not limited to the presence of smoke and/or cloud
cover, contrails, light conditions, sun glint and any sensor
or hardware-related issues that potentially could result in
faulty data. When necessary, image strips identified as not
meeting image quality specifications were re-flown to obtain
suitable imagery.
Aero triangulation blocks were defined primarily by order of
acquisition and consisted of four to seventeen strips.
Image tie points providing the observations for the least
squares bundle adjustment were selected from the images
using an auto correlation algorithm. Photogrammetric control
points consisted of photo identifiable control points,
collected using GPS field survey techniques. The control
points were loaded in to a softcopy workstation and measured
in the acquired image strips. A least squares bundle
adjustment of image pass points, control points and the
ABGPS was performed to develop an aero triangulation
solution for each block using Pictovera software.
Upon final bundle adjustment, the triangulated strips were
ortho-rectified to the digital elevation model (DEM) The most
recent USGS 10 meter DEMs were used in the rectification
process.
Positional accuracy was reviewed in the rectified imagery by
visually verifying the horizontal positioning of the known
photo-identifiable survey locations using ArcGIS software.
The red, green, blue, and infrared bands were combined to
generate a final ortho-rectified image strip. The ADS sensor
collects twelve bit image data which requires radiometric
adjustment for output in standard eight bit image channels.
The ortho-rectified image strips were produced with the
full 12 bit data range, allowing radiometric adjustment
to 8 bit range to be performed on a strip by strip basis
during the final mosaicking steps.
The 12 bit data range was adjusted for display in standard
eight bit image channels by defining a piecewise histogram
stretch using OrthoVista Radiometrix software. A constant
stretch was defined for each image collection period, and
then strip by strip adjustments were made as needed to
account for changes in sun angle and azimuth during the
collection period. Strip adjustments were also made to
match the strips histograms as closely as possible to
APFO specified histogram metrics and color balance
requirements. Automated balancing algorithms were applied
to account for bi- directional reflectance as a final step
before the conversion to 8 bit data range. The imagery was
mosaicked using manual seam line generation in Intergraph
GeoMedia OrthoPro.
