What is USDA-Nature Resources Conservation Service?
Provide support for
Conservation, Soil Survey, and
Wildlife Habitat Restoration
primary on private lands.
NRCS works with Private Land
owners including …
- Native American
- Native Alaskan
- Asian Pacific Islanders
NRCS is largely a non regulatory
agency.

• USDA-NRCS invests in Geospatial Data such as Soil Survey, Orthoimagery, Digital Elevation in all areas of
the United States including Puerto Rico, US Virgin Islands, Alaska, Hawaii and the Pacific Basin.
• NRCS has over 35 offices and 200 employees who require quality Geospatial Data and Services.

Since the early 1990’s, the Federal
Government has worked together to
acquire Orthoimagery for the United
States.
NDOP members believe in acquisition
partnerships to best utilize limited
funding and have the “one payer, many
users” model.
NDOP was responsible for the first
complete Orthoimagery acquisition in
the continental US.
Including coordination w/ NPS, BIA, FWS, EPA and USACOE
Why USDA for Orthoimagery ?
•USDA supports GIS data acquisition and development in all geographical
areas of the United States including Hawaii, Pacific Basin, Alaska, Puerto
Rico and the US Virgin Islands.
•USDA collects the most Orthoimagery of any Civilian Government Agency.
•USDA supports Special Emphasis Programs such as the Pacific Islanders
programs.

Hawaiian History of Orthoimagery 1993 - 2012
- USGS 1993 – 1995
- USDA-NRCS/FSA (Emerge)
- Hawaiian Ikonos Consortium (State of Hawaii, USDA-NRCS etc..)
- USDA-NRCS (DigitalGlobe QuickBird-2)
- USDA-NRCS, USGS, State of Hawaii, USFS (DigitalGlobe WorldView-2)
There are many programs from the late 1970’s to 2012.
I will focus on the following:
History of Hawaii Orthoimagery
1. USGS Statewide Digital Ortho Quarter Quads (DOQQ’s): 1 - 1.5 meter
Panchromatic, DOQ format (BIL), 1993 .1995 timeframe.
- IDP, or imagery derived product, meaning they are only releasable to Federal
agencies that sign non-disclosure agreements)
Issue: IDP DOQ.s are only releasable to federal agencies and their contractors,
because they are marked .U.S. Government Use Only. by NIMA (where the photography
originated) and the USGS. This distribution is too small to allow this dataset to serve as
the spatial standard .
USDA - NRCS/FSA EMERGE Statewide Digital Ortho Quarter Quads (DOQQ’s)
- First use of a Digital Aerial Camera for collecting an entire state (Hawaii)
- All eight major islands contracted
- Contract from 1997 – 2002 (Maximum length of Federal Contract)
- Public Domain dataset
- False Color Infrared (CIR): Needed for Soil Mapping Applications
- No true natural color Orthoimagery
- Quality was fair.
USDA-NRCS/FSA collected Orthoimagery for the Hawaii Islands in 1997-2002.
When the contracts finished in 2002, 70% of the Hawaiian Islands was
successfully collected at a cost of +1.0 Million.
What motivates you in your position or field?
•I went to the USDA-NRCS Field Office while in Maui about 10 years ago to assist in the installation of the
Emerge Orthoimagery dataset.
•While there I loaded in Arc GIS the Threatened & Endangered Species datasets similar to the one above.
Hawaiian Islands - Endangered Species
•Hawaii comprises less than .02 percent of the land area of the United States,
yet it has more than 25 percent of the country's listed endangered species.
•Nearly half of the 114 species that have become extinct in the first 20 years of
the federal Endangered Species Act were in Hawaii.
•Invasive species (Flora and Fauna) contribute to Plants and Animals
Threaten/Endangered species in the Hawaii Islands.
•The following few slides discuss the “Kahilli Ginger” or Himalayas Ginger in
•Makawao Forest Preserve in East Maui.
• As a result of the Emerge Aerial acquisition collection, Satellite
Technology was considered for the subsequence collection.
• USDA- NRCS started using Satellite acquisition in 2004 with primary
DigitalGlobe. Complete statewide acquisition was finished in 2009.
• Oahu is collected by DHS/NGA/USGS as part of the Urban 133 areas
project in 2004 and 2008.
• All islands have DG .6 Meter Resolution, Four Band Orthoimagery
data except Oahu (1 Ft., Natural Color).
• Complete coverage was accomplished in 2009 with the deliveries of
DOQQ’s for Hawaii Island at a cost of ~ $ 600,000 including Enterprise
Premium upgrades.

December 2009
DigitalGlobe Enterprise Premium License would allow the following:
- All Federal/State/Local Government, Universities, Non-Profit Organizations
and the General Public would be allowed to use DG Satellite data.
- Allows USDA to post compressed mosaics on the “Public” side of the USDA
Gateway. All users would have access to these datasets.
- Allows DigitalGlobe data to be hosted on a Web Map Service (WMS)
available to the General Public if the site does not charge a fee for the service.
- DigitalGlobe currently does not offer a “Public Domain” license for
QuickBird-2 data. The Enterprise Premium License is the most open license
available from DigitalGlobe.
- The only exclusion in broad terms of the Enterprise Premium License is that
DigitalGlobe data itself could not be re-sold by anyone else (Vendors,
Universities etc..).

Hawaii Status
Due to funding considerations and availability of WV-2 Imagery, Hawaii was split into 3 AOI’s.
Green Area: This area had good WV-2 Imagery in 2010 and has already been delivered to NRCS
via USGS-MCMC.
Orange Area: This AOI has been contracted for tasking. Good imagery exists for most areas with
significant cloud patching. This AOI was contracted via USGS-MCMC in August 2010.
Blue Area: This AOI has been contracted for tasking. Good imagery exists for most areas with
significant cloud patching. This AOI was contracted via HIES Inc. Environmental Engineering,
GIS & Remediation Services in August 2010 with funding from the State of Hawaii (Joan/Craig)

over abundance of Axis
Deer. In addition,
Invasive species such
as Himalayan Ginger
plants are a major threat
to native species.

Invasive Species
In some cases special
barriers are erected
to save an endangered

Conclusion:
The Nature Conservancy will examine the new
DigitalGlobe WorldView-2, 8 Band MS dataset for
vegetation detection of threatened/endangered species
and to detect invasive species such as the Himalayas
Ginger.

- Marshall Islands, Remaining High Population islands not completed in 2011

Hawaii and Pacific Basin Orthoimagery in the future?
- Majority of Orthoimagery will be acquired via High Resolution Satellites
(GeoEye, DigitalGlobe etc..)
- Funding constrains will challenge acquisition in the future
- Cooperation in future with all entities (NDOP, HIGICC) will be very
important
- Some duo acquisitions LiDAR/High Resolution Orthoimagery
(Guam, Saipan, American Samoa)
- Use of Department of Defense Contracts
What USDA-NRCS needs from you……..
- Funding assistance if possible!
- Information on the use of WV-2 (8 Multi-Spectral Bands) in applications.
- Is the use of the new MS Bands benefits your analysis?
102
USDA (NRCS, FSA, USFS) has a long tradition of collecting Orthoimagery
acquisitions in all areas of the United States including Hawaii and the Pacific
Basin.
And Finally….
By far, I spent more time on Hawaii and Pacific Basin Imagery projects than any
other area.
It is a pleasure to work with you!
