What is NAIP resolution?

NAIP acquires aerial imagery at a resolution of 1-meter ground sample distance (GSD) for the United States during the agricultural growing season, or “leaf on” conditions. The images are orthorectified which combines the image characteristics of an aerial photograph with the georeferenced qualities of a map.

What sensor does NAIP use?

The imagery used was the mosaicked digital ortho quarter quads (MDOQ) which were initially used to digitize FSA common land unit (CLU) data. The NAIP imagery was required to match within 5-meters to the existing MDOQs. Beginning in 2006, ground control points were used for inspecting some of the NAIP imagery.

Is NAIP imagery multispectral?

Multispectral analysis using NAIP data is a bit different from that using lower resolution data like Landsat. As a result of the 30m Landsat resolution, many subtle features are lost. This can actually make multispectral analysis easier. High resolution images like NAIP introduce several challenges.
