Description

This map is a local version of the NJGIN 2007-2008 natural color orthophotography, re-sampled at 4 feet (1.2m) per pixel from the original 1 foot (30cm) imagery.

Aerial photography of the entire State of New Jersey was captured during March-May, 2007. Two flight dates (2007-04-30 and 2007-05-03) were rejected from the original 2007 flight due to excessive leaf conditions. Spring 2008 re-flights were planned and acquired in three missions dating: 2008-04-03, 2008-04-10, and 2008-04-15. The final orthophotos for parts of Warren, Hunterdon, Sussex, Passaic, Essex, Union, and all of Bergen and Hudson Counties were created utilizing both years of imagery.

Multi-spectral digital orthophotography was produced at a scale of 1:2400 (1" = 200') with a 1 foot pixel resolution for the State of New Jersey totaling approximately 8,162 square miles. The GeoTIFF tiles delivered to the State of New Jersey were then converted to lossless JPEG2000 files.

In February of 2007, the acquisition of new state-wide digital aerial photography and the production of multi-spectral digital orthoimagery was planned, initiated and primarily funded by the NJ Office of Information Technology in partnership with other State Agencies: NJ Department of Transportation, NJ Department of Military and Veterans Affairs, and NJ Transit. Funding also was provided by U.S. Geological Survey (USGS) and the U.S. Department of Agriculture, Natural Resources Conservation Service (NRCS). A contract team responsible for orthophoto production and independent quality assurance was led by Photo Science Inc. and included a team of subconsultants consisting of Lucerne International, TerraSurv Inc. and BAE Systems.The Web Map Service was developed and is provided by the NJ Office of Information Technology (NJOIT), Office of Geographic Information Systems (OGIS).
