Imagery

As part of New Jersey's statewide GIS coordination program, orthoimagery is made available as specialized web services known as map services. Map services allow the user's computer or device to access imagery on demand via an internet connection without the need to download the imagery's source data files. In addition to the entire catalog of imagery available in WMS format, NJOGIS has begun to publish high-demand imagery as cached map services available as both an ArcGIS REST and WMTS.

Imagery consumed in the WMS format is dynamically rendered on-the-fly by the server and often provides the best fidelity with the source data files. WMS imagery is Open Geospatial Consortium (OGC) compliant, which is compatible with a broad range of client software. Imagery consumed from a cached service, whether ArcGIS REST or WMTS, typically displays more quickly and can scale to a high number of simultaneous users without a degradation in performance. NJOGIS recommends use of cached map services where available to provide the best end-user experience.

PLEASE NOTE: There are size limits on images requested from our WMS. The maximum image width and length is 3840 x 3840 pixels.

As part of New Jersey's statewide GIS coordination program, a selection of NJ imagery collections are available for download from the Imagery Warehouse App. These collections include aerial photography from the 1930s, and natural color orthoimagery from 2007, 2012 and 2015. They are available in MrSID and Cloud Optimized GeoTIFF (COG) formats. These data are stored in Amazon Web Services (AWS) Simple Storage Service through the AWS Open Data program and are available for download using the AWS Command Line Interface. They are no longer available on physical media such as hard drives. Cached imagery tile packages are also available for 2012 and 2015. Contact Us for more information.

Technical Instructions

All four bands are present in the MG4 MrSID files.
Natural color display: red = band 1, green = band 2, blue = band 3
False color (infrared) display: red = band 4, green = band 1, blue = band 2

Directions for ArcGIS Pro & ArcMap
Make sure there are not any stretch settings applied to the raster layer by default.

Perform a dry run without downloading any tiles to confirm the CLI is working and the command parameters are correct. Change the c:\tiles\ to the local directory into which the files will be copied. To execute a dry run, use the following command:

aws s3 cp s3://njogis-imagery/1930/sid/ c:\tiles\ --no-sign-request --recursive --dryrun

Upon a successful dry run, download the tiles to your computer using the following command (note the omission of the --dry-run parameter used above):

aws s3 cp s3://njogis-imagery/1930/sid/ c:\tiles\ --no-sign-request --recursive

The download command will run unattended until completion. It is likely to require several hours (or possibly days) depending on the speed of your internet connection and computer.
