FSA 10:1 NAIP Imagery m_4209416_ne_15_1_20140907_20141105 3.75 x 3.75 minute JPEG2000 from The National Map
Dataset Identification:
Resource 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 update 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.

evaluation Method Description
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. For 2005 the 1-meter GSD specification was changed to 5 meters
matching the reference imagery. In 2006 a pilot project was completed 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 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.
