Data Management Plan
DMP Template v2.0.1 (2015-01-01)
Please provide the following information, and submit to the NOAA DM Plan Repository.Reference to Master DM Plan (if applicable)
As stated in Section IV, Requirement 1.3, DM Plans may be hierarchical. If this DM Plan inherits provisions from a higher-level DM Plan already submitted to the Repository, then this more-specific Plan only needs to provide information that differs from what was provided in the Master DM Plan.
1. General Description of Data to be Managed
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
of ortho imagery within one year of acquisition. NAIP provides
four main products: 1 meter ground sample distance (GSD) ortho
imagery rectified to a horizontal accuracy of within +/- 5
meters of reference digital ortho quarter quads (DOQQ's) from
the National Digital Ortho Program (NDOP); 2 meter GSD
ortho imagery rectified to within +/- 10 meters of reference
DOQQs; 1 meter GSD ortho imagery rectified to within +/- 6
meters to true ground; and, 2 meter GSD ortho imagery rectified
to within +/- 10 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. NAIP quarter quads
are formatted to the UTM coordinate system using NAD83. NAIP
imagery may contain as much as 10% cloud cover per tile.

Process Steps:
- 2012-10-29 00:00:00 - Flight planning was performed in IGIPlan from IGI over a buffered boundary covering DOQQ extents provided by the USDA. A 500m reduced resolution NED DEM file was used to determine ground heights. A targeted flight altitude of approximately 30,000 feet above ground level was used. A minimum forward overlap of 60+ACU- and minimum side overlap of 30+ACU- were used. No ground elevation in the project area resulted in source pixel dimensions greater than 1.05m or less than 0.5m. Cessna Conquest aircraft were used for acquisition. Multiple Intergraph Digital Mapping Camera (DMC) systems where utilized in the data capture. The DMC is a digital frame camera that produces a central perspective image with a nominal focal length of 120mm projecting an image on a virtual CCD measuring 13,824 by 7,680 pixels. The pixels are 12um by 12um. Images from four panchromatic cameras modules, each with a 120mm lens projecting an image on a 7,168 by 4,096 CCD, are assembled to create the virtual frame. Images captured simultaneously from four 3,072 by 2,048 pixel multispectral (MS) cameras with 30mm lenses produce red, green, blue and near infrared images. These MS images are matched to the Pan virtual image using the Post Processing Software from Intergraph. All DMC systems used for capture have been calibrated by the manufacturer. The calibration includes measuring the radiometric and geometric properties of each camera. These data are used in the Post Processing Software to eliminate the radiometric and geometric distortion. The raw captured pixel resolution of the panchromatic virtual frame ranges from 0.60m to 1.04m across the project area depending on terrain height. Each pixel is assigned a 12 bit digital number (DN) by the analog to digital conversion performed after each exposure. Each pixel is resampled during orthorectification to an output resolution of 1m at a bit depth of 8 for each image band. Four bands of data were captured for each image+ADs- Blue: 400-580 nm, Green: 500-650nm, Red: 590-675nm and Near infrared: 675-850 nm. The final product may only include the RGB data. All aerial imagery was collected with associated GPS data. When possible most imagery will also include IMU data collection. GPS/IMU data were captured with either an Applanix POS 510 system or IGI AEROControl. The GPS data was utilized to control the aerial triangulation process. All imagery was processed through an aerial triangulation in which the airborne GPS data was constrained to expected limits. Analysis was performed to assure that all image frames fit within a strip and between strips by evaluating the image and airborne GPS residuals. The final adjustments assure a high quality relative adjustment and a high quality absolute adjustment limited to the airborne GPS data accuracy. This process assures the final absolute accuracy of all geopositioned imagery. Both signalized and photo identified ground control were used to QC and control the IMU/GPS based aerial triangulation bundle block solution. For each project area the latest NED was downloaded from the USGS National Map Seamless Server website in late Spring 2012. Thirty Meter NED was used in all cases, and preferred over the available ten meter spacing to minimize image smearing and distortions that are exacerbated by a finer, but not more accurate DEM. A visual inspection of the NED using color cycled classification by elevation and a shaded relief was performed to check for gaps, corruption and gross errors. When available the NED was compared to known higher quality elevation sources to detect flaws. Between 20-60 construction points per frame derived from conjugant image measurements performed during aerial triangulation were projected to the NED. The predicted horizontal error for each point was added as an attribute in the SURDEX enterprise database. An operator reviews ortho seams in areas these predicted errors indicate horizontal error in excess of the contract spe

7. Data Access
NAO 212-15 states that access to environmental data may only be restricted when distribution is explicitly limited by law, regulation, policy (such as those applicable to personally identifiable information or protected critical infrastructure information or proprietary trade information) or by security requirements. The EDMC Data Access Procedural Directive contains specific guidance, recommends the use of open-standard, interoperable, non-proprietary web services, provides information about resources and tools to enable data access, and includes a Waiver to be submitted to justify any approach other than full, unrestricted public access.
There are no limitations for access.
