Frequently-anticipated questions:

What does this data set describe?

Title: San Antonio Missions National Historical Park Vegetation Mapping Project - National Agricultural Imagery Program (NAIP) Orthorectified Photomosaic
Abstract:
This data set contains imagery from the National Agricultural 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 availabilty of ortho imagery within a 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 (DOQQS) from the National Digital Ortho Program (NDOP); and, 2 meter GSD ortho imagery rectified to within +/- 20 meters of reference DOQQs. The tiling format of NAIP imagery is based on a 3.75' x 3.75' quarter quadrangle with a 360 meter buffer on all four sides. NAIP quarter quads are rectified to the UTM coordinate system NAD83. NAIP imagery can obtain as much as 10% cloud cover per tile.

This file was generated by compressing mosaicked digital quarter quadrangle image tiles scanned from natural color positive or color infrared positive aerial film into a single mosaic. The mosaic may cover all or portions of an individual county. MrSid software compression, with mosaic option, was used to create the final product. Each individual image tile within the mosaic covers a 3.75 X 3.75 minute quarter quadrangle plus a 360 meter buffer on all four sides. All individual tile images and the resulting mosaic were rectified to the UTM coordinate system, NAD 83 and cast into a single predetermined UTM zone.

All digital products and the underlying film images were produced through the National Agriculture Imagery Program (NAIP). The primary purpose of the mosaicked digital ortho quarter quads is to support USDA Field Service Centers located in counties throughout the United States.

  2. How were the data generated, processed, and modified?

    Date: 08-Mar-2005 (process 1 of 2)
    Imagery was flown with Leica ADS40 digital sensors to capture 0.9m raw data. Raw data is then downloaded using Leica GPro software into 12 bit TIFF format. The raw TIFF imagery is then georeferenced and reprojected using GPS/INS 200Hz exterior orientation information (x/y/z/o/p/k) to allow stereo viewable imagery. This stereo viewable imagery is processed with the GPro/LPS automatic point matching algorithm to determine common match points every 2000 pixels across the imagery strip and 333 pixels along strip. This pattern includes dual rows of line ties to the adjacent line of imagery. The resulting point data is imported in Leica ORIMA and used to perform a full bundle adjustment of the imagery point data. Any blunders are removed, and weak areas are manually supplemented to ensure good coverage of points. Once the point data is cleaned and point coverage is acceptable vertical control points from the prior generation MDOQ's are introduced in the corners and center of the block being adjusted. This control is used to perform any datum shift (x/y/z and rotation) to ensure the new adjusted imagery fits the existing MDOQ reference imagery. The output from this bundle adjustment process is revised exterior orientation data for the sensor with any GPS/INS, datum, and sensor calibration errors modeled and compensated for. Using this revised EO data orthorectified image strips are created using the USGS DEM. The 10m DEM is used where available and 30m DEM is used elsewhere. The orthorectified strips are overlaid over the existing MDOQ compressed files to ensure accuracy is met by a visual inspection and manually measuring features. Once the accuracy of the orthorectified image strips are validated the strips are processed with a NWG proprietary dodging package that compensates for the bi-directional reflectance function that is caused by the sun's position relative to the image area. This compensated imagery is then imported into Inpho's OrthoVista 4.0 package which is used for the final radiometric balance, mosaic, and DOQQ sheet creation. These final DOQQ sheets contain a 300m minimum buffer. These final DOQQ tiles are edge inspected to the existing MDOQ sheets for accuracy validation. The final DOQQ tiles are then organized into directories based on the USDA provided county lists. A visual inspection is performed of the entire county to ensure all tiles are present and the radiometric quality of the county looks good. If the radiometric quality is acceptable the county is compressed to MG3 format using Lizard Tech's GeoExpress v5.0 with a compression factor of 15 and 9 overview levels. Once this compression is complete manual reviewing is performed to ensure satisfactory results. The associated CCM shapefile is created using ESRI ArcView 9.0 with the latest service packs.
