      <abstract>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 ortho imagery within one year of acquisition. NAIP provides two 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); and, 2 meter GSD ortho imagery rectified to within +/- 10 meters of reference DOQQs.  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.

This file was generated by compressing NAIP quarter quadrangle tiles that cover a county.  MrSID compression, with mosaic option, was used.  Target values for the compression ratio are (15:1) and the maximum N-levels are used.</abstract>
      <purpose>NAIP imagery may be distributed on an interim basis to meet USDA program requirements.  The interim product is a compressed county mosaic.  Users should be aware that the interim compressed county mosaic may contain defects and have horizontal accuracy less than the specified tolerances. Defective imagery may be replaced within one year of image acquisition date.</purpose>

      <procstep>
        <procdesc>This Compressed County Mosaic was
generated using MrSID Generation Three (MG3) software using the maximum N-level setting and a target compression ratio of 15:1. All photography was acquired using metric mapping cameras and acompanied by the collection of airborne Global Positioning System (GPS) data. Photography was scanned using Leica Geosystems DSW 500/600/700 image scanners at a resolution of approximately 20 micrometers per pixel. All imagery was aerotriangulated in blocks of 200-1,000 photographs using the Z/I Imaging ImageStation Automatic Triangulation (ISAT) software package. Orthorectification was performed with custom software and the USGS National Elevation Dataset was used for the elevation model. Digital orthophotos were radiometrically balanced in groups of 100-500 images using the Inpho OrthoVista product. Custom software automatically generated the MrSID project parameter file to control the insertion of the digital orthophotos in the final mosaic. The ordering scheme of the digital orthophotos is based on a last-in-last-on-top scheme.</procdesc>
