Digital orthophotography of New Jersey, distributed as an ArcGIS REST cached tile service [https://maps.nj.gov/arcgis/rest/services/Basemap/Orthos_Natural_2012_NJ/MapServer/] and as a Tiled Web Map Service (WMTS) [https://maps.nj.gov/arcgis/rest/services/Basemap/Orthos_Natural_2012_NJ/MapServer/WMTS/tile/1.0.0/Basemap_Orthos_Natural_2012_NJ]. These services display the three natural color bands from the 4-band project.

The native data set spatial reference system is EPSG::3424 State Plane Coordinate System NAD83 Coordinates, U.S. Survey Feet. The cache processing has produced continuous tiles in EPSG::3857 WGS84 Web Mercator (auxiliary sphere) coordinates, meters.

Multi-spectral digital orthophotography was produced at a scale of 1:2400 (1" = 200') with a 1 foot pixel resolution for the entire state, totaling approximately 8,162 square miles.

Digital orthophotography combines the image characteristics of a photograph with the geometric qualities of a map. Each digitized perspective aerial photograph is rectified for camera lens distortion, vertical displacement caused by terrain relief and variations in aircraft altitude and orientation.
