- Abstract:
-
The NAIP_1M_CLRIR_2012 dataset is a (1 meter) truecolor and
infrared (4 band) NAIP imagery product acquired during the summer of 2012
by the USDA-FSA-APFO NAIP program, then reprojected to VT State Plane Meters
and cropped to the USGS quarter quad boundary by VCGI.
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.
- 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 GSD product
provides an ortho image base for Common Land Unit boundaries and
other data sets. The 1 meter NAIP imagery is generally acquired
in projects covering full states in cooperation with state
government and other federal agencies who use the imagery for a
variety of purposes including land use planning and natural
resource assessment. With an annual cycle, NAIP is also used
for disaster response often providing the most current pre-event
imagery. While suitable for a variety of uses the 2 meter
GSD NAIP imagery is primarily intended to assess crop condition
and compliance to USDA farm program conditions. The 2
meter imagery is generally acquired only for agricultural areas
within state projects.

DOQQ Production Process Description
USDA FSA APFO NAIP Program 2012
State: Vermont
The imagery was collected using ADS40-SH51,ADS40-SH52, and
ASD40-SH81 digital sensors. Collection was performed using a
combination of twin-engine aircraft flying at 22,500 or
27,000 ft above mean terrain with 25% sidelap, giving the
collected data nominal ground sampling distance of 0.7
meters. Based-upon the CCD Array configuration present in
the ADS40 digital sensor, imagery for each flight line is
12,000-pixels in width. Red, Green, Blue, Near-Infrared and
Panchromatic image bands were collected.
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 IPAS,
PosPac and/or TerraPos software and reviewed to ensure
sufficient accuracy for project requirements.
Using Pictovera 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 DEM. Digital elevation models (DEM)
auto-correlated from imagery acquired for project items will
be used in the orthorectification process. The PictoVera
autocorrelation module is used to generate digital surface
model (DSM) mass points for each survey line. The
autocorrelation module uses an APM algorithm to measure mass
points from the forward, nadir, and backward images;
searching in the three images throughout the entire width
and length of each flightline for matching features. The DSM
mass points will model the ground surface and above ground
features, and must be filtered to a digital terrain model
(DTM) representing only ground features for use in
orthorectification. PremierGeo uses the SimActive Correlator
3D software to generate the required DTM from the PictoVera
DSM. Correlator 3D uses geometric algorithms to identify and
filter above ground features from the DSM based on size and
shape. The filtered DTM is then interpolated to a regularly
gridded DEM for use in the PictoVera rectification module.
The DEM is reviewed for any elevation anomalies that would
introduce image smearing during orthorectification, and
manual edits made as necessary to remove any anomalies.
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, and blue bands were combined to generate a
final ortho-rectified image strip. The ADS40 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 imagery was mosaicked using manual seam line generation
in Orthovista Seam Editor (OVSE). The 12 bit data range was
adjusted for display in standard eight bit image channels by
defining a piecewise histogram stretch using OrthoVista
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.
