Abstract
The 1 meter GSD NAIP is intended as a source for current digital ortho imagery in USDA Field Service Center GIS and for other uses that require ortho imagery acquired during the agricultural growing season.
This data series contains 6554 2011 1-meter natural color (1,2,3) and false color (4,1,2) digital orthoimage tiles. The data cover all of Idaho. The National Agricultural Imagery Program (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. The bounding coordinates are not specific to individual orthoimages but rather to the entire state.
