They consist of 62 images that each cover a Montana county or half of a county. They are orthorectified natural-color MrSID images with a ground resolution of 1 meter, and they are registered to the UTM coordinate system. An ESRI shapefile showing the dates the images were collected is available at https://ftpgeoinfo.msl.mt.gov/Data/Spatial/MSDI/Imagery/2009_NAIP/naip_2009_dates.zip. The data are available from the State Library in other formats. A 4-band (3 visible bands and near infrared) web service for viewing the data is available at https://gisservicemt.gov/arcgis/rest/services/MSDI_Framework/NAIP_2009/ImageServer. The data may be downloaded in 12-kilometer blocks from http://geoinfo.msl.mt.gov/Data/Aerial_Photos/NAIP_2009. The Library has 11,793 uncompressed 4-band TIFF images that are available on request. These aerial photographs were captured to support various governmental, municipal, tribal, and emergency management Geographic Information System activities. Orthorectified aerial photographs can be used to determine the geographic location of objects visible on the photos. The original imagery was acquired to meet USDA program requirements including conservation planning and soil survey. 2009 Ground Condition For information on future updates of the NAIP, see the Aerial Photography Field Office web site (http://www.apfo.usda.gov). -116.125 -104.000 49.000 44.250 ISO 19115 Topic Category imageryBaseMapsEarthCover Digital Georectified Image Georectified imagery Georectification Mosaic Air Photo Air Photos Aerial Photo Aerial Photos Orthophoto Orthophotos MrSID NAIP Farming Montana None The Originator asks to be credited in derived products.

The specified accuracy for 1-meter imagery such as this is 5 meters. Aerial Photography Field Office 200910 40000 2009 Ground Condition Imagery was flown with Leica ADS80 digital sensors to capture 1.0m raw data. Raw data is then downloaded using Leica XPro software. The raw imagery is then georeferenced using GPS/INS 200Hz exterior orientation information (x/y/z/o/p/k). Technicians precisely measure tie points in 3 bands/looks (Back/Nadir/Forward) for each line using Leica Xpro software. The resulting point data and exterior orientation data is used to perform a full bundle adjustment using Xpro. 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 photo-identifiable GPS-surveyed ground control points are introduced in the corners and center of the block being adjusted. The output from this bundle adjustment process is the 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 NED DEM. The orthorectified strips are overlaid with each other and with the ground control to check accuracy. 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 4.4 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 MDOQQ sheets for accuracy validation. 20090929 Universal Transverse Mercator 11, 12, or 13 row and column 1 1 meters North American Datum of 1983 Geodetic Reference System 80 6378137 298.257 Montana State Library mailing address
