NAIP QA Assessment Procedures

Phase 1. Comprehensive review of all MrSID County Mosaics

Four Operators inspected:

1 geometry checkpoint per 7.5-minute quad (64 square miles)

Noted all radiometric errors and cloud cover

Phase 2. Selective review of quarter-quad GeoTIFFs

Four Operators inspected:

All geometric errors >7 m detected during Phase 1

A random selection of additional quarter-quad GeoTIFFs

Noted all radiometric errors and cloud cover

Summary

Geometric Accuracy is high.

14 of 7015 points checked (0.2%) failed.

Extrapolates to <40 quarter-quads in the state.

Cloud Cover is a factor.

Impacts 731 quarter-quads (4.12%).

By specification, causes rejection of 88 quarter quads (0.5%).

Radiometric Flaws need to be addressed.

Impacts 483 quarter-quads (2.72%).Severe instances would likely cause rejection of approximately

100 quarter-quads (0.6%).
