Breaking the Gigapixel BarrierThis page contains what I believe to be one of the highest resolution, most detailed stitched digital images ever created. Ya, no kidding guy!! Purdy, though ...
That's some serious dedication.
It doesn't look quite as pretty on my desktop wallpaper, though. I think I'll go back to NASA.
I wish I could take that image and print it out and put it up on my wall. I mean on the outside of my wall. On a 400 foot building.
Pardon my language, but... holy fuck.
I'm not sure if breaking the Gigapixel "barrier" is what this does. This is like a jigsaw puzzle. Wake me someone renders ot csptures a single Gigapixel image.
Boloody tpyos...
Pretty!
But how come the top and bottom aren't distorted, where he had to turn the camera ...
Wow.
Digitally stitching together a file that is so large that it can't be printed out kind of reminds me of this. I have to be impressed at the ability to follow through, however.
Both impressive and wonderously geeky at the same time.
I wonder how he managed to point his camera at exactly the right spot every time.
Next step: create an array of 196 11 megapixel cameras connected to a frame. Perfect gigapixel images every time!
But how come the top and bottom aren't distorted, where he had to turn the camera
He touches on that here. I think the extra-long focal length helps reduce distortion too.
I have to agree that this really doesn't break any barriers but that's some real devotion to piece such a large picture together. All this time I thought 11 Megapixels was as good as it got and then I read this: while the BetterLight Super 10K-2 scanning back (camera not included!) captures 140 megapixels, but costs about $25,000. Wow.....wow

That's correct
Agh. This is too close to actual considerations of work. Must run away.
