Description

This map is a locally-hosted version of the NJGIN 2015 natural color orthophotography of New Jersey. It was re-sampled at the resolution of 4 feet (1.2m) per pixel from the original 1 foot (30cm) imagery and covers the entire state.

The Microsoft UltraCam Falcon and Eagle large format digital camera was used to capture 4-band (RGB and NIR), 16-bit imagery at a Nominal Acquisition Altitude of 16,480' (AGL) during the Spring of 2015 on the following flight dates:

-March 29, 2015-A (N344Q; 40312131) -March 29, 2015-B (N344Q; 40312131) -Apr 1, 2015-A (N344Q; 40312131) -Apr 2, 2015-A (N344Q; 40312131) -Apr 6, 2015-A (N441MD; 817310) -Apr 16, 2015-A (N87WS; 50617043) -Apr 18, 2015-A (N441MD; 817310) -Apr 19, 2015-A (N170TA; 50811038) -Apr 19, 2015-A (N441MD; 817310) -Apr 19, 2015-B (N441MD; 817310) -Apr 26, 2015-A (N87WS; 60617043) -Apr 29, 2015-A (N191TA; 5039383) -May 2, 2015-A (N87WS; 50617043) -May 3, 2015-A (N87WS; 50617043).

The Nominal Acquisition Altitude of 16,480' (AGL) was used to capture the imagery. Supplemental flight lines were also acquired over defined urban areas of Atlantic City, Jersey City, Newark, Camden, and Trenton in order to provide additional imagery to be used in the process of minimizing building lean during orthophotography production.
