1. The National Map: Digital Orthoimagery Program National Geospatial Programs Office U.S. Department of the Interior U.S. Geological Survey

2. National DOQ Program Background: • Development of technology in early 1990’s • NDOP Steering Committee established • Program inception to first time coverage in less than 10 years • FY 1993-2002: $190 million ASPRS 2005 Annual Conference

3. So, what worked?: • Cooperative funded program • Working with industry on developing and introducing new technology • Using qualifications-based selection to contract majority of production work to the private sector • Once-over uniform national coverage ASPRS 2005 Annual Conference

4. And , what didn’t?: • Tone matching • DEMs derived from other sources • County CD products with tiled DOQs • Providing State Plane Coordinate data to State partners • Establishing long-term plans with State and Federal partners ASPRS 2005 Annual Conference

5. Technology, timing, and The National Map: • Tone matching and county mosaics • Seamless server • Geographic coordinates and on-the-fly reprojections • Web services ASPRS 2005 Annual Conference

6. Now, what’s different?: • Wide acceptance of DOQs throughout mapping community • USGS has more to do with less money • NDOP agencies have diverged with their own requirements, funding, and contracts • Many State programs have been established • Need for higher-resolution by both State and Federal partners • One size does not fit all ASPRS 2005 Annual Conference

7. National Orthoimage Program Plan: • Outlines all elements of USGS program • Estimates annual funding level required • Outlines long-range acquisition and partnership strategy • Continuously revised to be integrated with partner plans and available resources ASPRS 2005 Annual Conference

8. ASPRS NextGen Study: • Vision for orthoimagery technologies over the next 10 years • Describe how future technologies might impact Federal and State programs • Technology-based recommendations to aid the development of strategies and policies • Team formed and will conduct interviews • Final report to USGS in September 2005 ASPRS 2005 Annual Conference

9. Incentives for Orthoimagery Partnership • Cost-share up to 50% of acquisition • In-field liaison communication • Offer airborne and satellite contract services and • Contribute to State/local contracts • Offer quality assurance services • Offer archive and hosting services and • Contribute to State/local archive and hosting services • Investigate emerging technologies ASPRS 2005 Annual Conference

10. Orthoimagery acquisition strategy: • Acquire cyclic orthoimagery through partnerships • 133 Urban Areas • States • 11 Western States – leaf-on (FSA/NAIP) • Eastern States - leaf-off, option for NAIP • States with high/multi-resolution programs • Provide access to orthoimagery through the NSDI • Available in The National Map • Accessible through Geospatial One-Stop • States encouraged to serve data via WMS ASPRS 2005 Annual Conference

11. 2005 Orthoimagery Acquisition Plan • High-resolution 56% • 8 States • 64 Urban Areas • NAPP 31% • 9 States • NAIP 13% • DOI High Priority • 3+ States ASPRS 2005 Annual Conference

12. 2005 Urban Area Requirements • Plan • 31 Urban Areas for 1st coverage • 1 via in-house production • 7 via CSC • 23 via cooperative agreement partnerships • 7 Urban Areas delayed until FY06 • 33 Urban Areas for 2nd coverage • 1 via CSC • 32 via cooperative agreement partnerships ASPRS 2005 Annual Conference

13. 2005 State Requirements • 1st generation DOQs • Northern ME (97), central ID (98) • DOI-High Priority • DOQ production for TX (02), AZ (03) border • NAPP A-Z • IL, SC • NAIP contribution (DOI–HP) • UT, ID, OR, unspecified other States ASPRS 2005 Annual Conference

14. 2005 State Requirements • Other State partnerships • FL – hi-res 1/3 State coverage • GA - complete 2nd coverage DOQs (99) • IN – multi-res State coverage • LA – 2nd year to complete State (DOQs) • MA – hi-res State coverage • ME - hi-res orthos 2nd year • ME – 3rd year to complete multi-res State coverage ASPRS 2005 Annual Conference

15. 2005 State Requirements • Other State partnerships (continued) • NH – multi-year multi-res State coverage • NY – 2nd cycle multi-res 1/4 State coverage • OH - multi-res State coverage • OR – QA for OR DOQ production (01) • VT – multi-year multi-res State coverage ASPRS 2005 Annual Conference
