      <abstract>This data set contains imagery from the National Agriculture Imagery Program (NAIP).  These data are digital aerial photos of the entire state of Montana, taken in the year 2009.  The spatial resolution of the images is 1 meter.

The State Library provides the data through several avenues:

 - View and download as either natural-color or false-color infrared images at https://montana.maps.arcgis.com/apps/webappviewer/index.html?id=44761dd5d8194b9a9b78fddd897a0dac

 - A 4-band (infrared, red, green, blue) map service at https://gisservicemt.gov/ArcGIS/rest/services/MSDI_Framework/NAIP_2009/ImageServer

 - For download as natural-color compressed county mosaics in MrSID format at https://ftpgeoinfo.msl.mt.gov/Data/Spatial/MSDI/Imagery/2009_NAIP/UTM_County_Mosaics/.  The state is covered by 62 images with a total size of 129 gigabytes.

 - For download as natural-color compressed 12-kilometer tiles in MrSID format at http://geoinfo.msl.mt.gov/data/Aerial_Photos/NAIP_2009.  These images are in Montana State Plane coordinates, NAD1983, units meters.  The state is covered by 2,732 images with a total size of 55 gigabytes.

 - As 4-band GeoTIFF images.  The state is covered by 11,797 images, each of about 170 megabytes.  The images are in UTM coordinates, each of which covers a 3.75-minute quadrangle, or one-quarter of a USGS 7.5-minute topographic map quadrangle.  To order GeoTIFF images from the State Library, select the quadrangles you want from the tiff index shapefile at https://ftpgeoinfo.msl.mt.gov/Data/Spatial/MSDI/Imagery/2009_NAIP/naip_2009_tif_index.zip and send them to the Library, along with a storage device of sufficient size to hold them and return postage for the device.

An ESRI shapefile index showing the dates and times the images were acquired is available at https://ftpgeoinfo.msl.mt.gov/Data/Spatial/MSDI/Imagery/2009_NAIP/Naip_2009_Dates.zip

        <procdesc>Imagery was flown with Leica ADS80 digital sensors to capture 1.0 meter 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.</procdesc>
