NAIP is a program to acquire peak growing season "leaf on" imagery, and deliver this imagery to USDA County Service Centers, in order to maintain the common land unit (CLU) boundaries and assist with farm programs. The goal of NAIP is to collect 1 meter imagery for the entire conterminous United States. The imagery is either natural color or "four band" imagery and is delivered in the year of acquisition.
The USDA partnered with Virginia for the 2008 NAIP program which allowed for full state coverage, improved accuracy, and delivery of a "four band" image which includes an additional near infrared band. Virginia partners for the 2008 NAIP acquisition include the Virginia Geographic Information Network, Virginia Department of Forestry, and Virginia Department of Transportation.
