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.

Data Quality

Horizontal Positional Accuracy:

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: Ohio

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 10548)

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:

Turbins flying at 26,5000 ft above mean terrain

(tail number: PAY2 N400CM)

(tail number: AC90 N690LN)

(tail number: AC90 N910FC)

With these flying heights, there is a 28% sidelap,

giving the collected data nominal ground sampling distance

of 0.60 meters at 26,500.

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 Inpho 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 possi
