Surdex (Surdex, the vendor for the NAIP 2006 project, is listed as a contributor because of their willingness to test a model where the processing and delivery of orthoimagery was shared between a private vendor and organizations who comprised the 2006 NAIP Planning Committee. This shared production model avoided/reduced costs to partnering agencies. Funding and accomplishing this project would not have been possible with this innovative model and the willingness of Surdex staff.)
Image Acquisition
More than sixty organizations in Washington contributed resources and made this project successful. This partnership created five ortho-image data sets:
1) One-meter, MrSID Compressed County Mosaics, UTM Zone 10 or 11.
2) One-meter, MrSID Compressed County Mosaics, Washington State Plane NAD-83 south zone.
3) 18-inch, statewide geo-tiff tiles (8,192 pixel by 8,192 pixels), Washington State Plane NAD-83 south zone.
4) 18-inch north half of the state, quarter-township format, Washington State Plane NAD-83, north zone.
5) Half-meter, statewide quarter-quad format, UTM Zone 10 or 11.
