| Title | Index of Acquisition Dates for NAIP Digital Orthorectified Images (DOQ), Minnesota, 2015 | |||
| Abstract | This data set contains polygons delineating the seamline boundaries of imagery acquired as part of the National Agriculture Imagery Program (NAIP), and used in the creation of DOQQs and compressed county mosaics (CCM). These seam polygons can be used as a tool in determining the image source and date of each portion of the DOQQ or the CCM.
The NAIP acquires 4 band digital ortho imagery from airborne and/or space based platforms during the agricultural growing seasons in the U.S.. A primary goal of the NAIP program is to enable availability of ortho imagery within sixty days of acquisition. The NAIP provides 1 meter or 1/2 meter GSD ortho imagery rectified within +/- 6 meters to true ground at a 95% confidence level. The tiling format of NAIP imagery is based on a 3.75' x 3.75' quarter quadrangle with a 300 (plus or minus 30) pixel buffer on all four sides. The NAIP quarter quads are formatted to the UTM coordinate system using the North American Datum of 1983 (NAD83). (Note: The Minnesota Geospatial Information Office (MnGeo) has created this metadata record to describe the entire NAIP 2015 seamline shapefile dataset, using information from Farm Service Agency metadata. Each seamline shapefile is accompanied by the original FSA metadata for that county.) | |||

| Section 2 | Data Quality | |||
| Attribute Accuracy | All data have been reviewed for correct application of attributes and are accurate to current conditions. | |||
| Logical Consistency | USDA-FSA Aerial Photography Field Office relies on the integrity of the original data collection which was performed by private contractors. Data integrity was validated by the responsible private contractor or sub-contractor. Polygon and chain-node topology present. There are no duplicate arcs and no dangling nodes. The data set contains polygons that do not overlap, there are no polygons that are entered twice, and all areas are completely described. The area features are topologically structured with nodes at all intersections. The dataset is comprised of polygons delineating portions of each exposure used as source data for each part of the NAIP imagery, with no gaps in coverage. Attribution includes acquisition dates and times. | |||
| Completeness | To the best knowledge of the USDA-FSA Aerial Photography Field Office this digital data set is complete with no required elements left unrepresented according to contract specifications. | |||
| Horizontal Positional Accuracy | None | |||
| Vertical Positional Accuracy | N/A | |||
| Lineage | This ESRI shapefile was created using ESRI ArcMap 9.3.1. A script was used to take the seam output from OrthoVista and output the polygon shapefile. The attribute data is taken from the image acquisition data.
Note: The files will be in either UTM zone 14 or 15, depending on which zone covers the majority of the county. | |||
