A characterization of the data, including its intended use and limitations.
Abstract: Ortho imagery of Harrison County Indiana. In the summer of 2008, the US Department of Agriculture contracted for the acquisition of a new set of statewide aerial photography for Indiana. The new 1-meter, color images (4 band) were captured in mid-summer (leaf-on). The Natural Resources Conservation Service (NRCS), a component of the US Department of Agriculture, provided Indiana University with the 2008 NAIP data sets.
Purpose: A digital orthophoto is a geometrically accurate photographic record of landscape conditions at the time of the corresponding aerial photography. As such, the digital orthophoto is useful for a variety of applications, such as environmental monitoring, facility engineering/maintenance, city/county planning, property line review, etc. The digital orthophoto can be used alone or as a raster basemap for corresponding vector line mapping.
Supplemental information: Using ArcMap, eliminate the black background surrounding the aerial image, check the box for "Display Background Value: (R,G,B) to 0,0,0 as No Color. This prevents the black background area from overlapping other imagery. This option is found under the symbology tab in the Layer Properties. The Layer Properties can be accessed by right clicking on the image layer in ArcMap's table of contents.
To adjust the image color to its natural appearance you can change the default Stretch setting from Standard Deviations to None. This option is just below the "Display Background Value" check box in Layer Properties.
The bounding coordinates in this metadata file represent the bounding coordinates for all image tiles at this scale within the project area as a whole, not an individual tile. To see the Near Infrared imagery, set the band combinations to 4,3,2 in ArcGIS symbology.
