2.5 gigapixel photo


VanBuren

Recommended Posts

"TNO has produced the largest digital panoramic photo in the world. So, what do we mean by large? After all, modern consumer cameras can easily take a picture with 5 million pixels. Well, we are talking about a photo of completely different dimensions. One with 2.5 billion pixels - that's 500 times more pixels. If this photo were printed, it would measure 6.67 m by 2.67 m (300 dpi). The photograph shows Delft and its surroundings in the autumn of 2004. It was taken from the top of the Electrical Engineering faculty of Delft University, at a height of about 100 m, by TNO."

check the roof of the building in the lower left corner. the mounting of the sat dish is unbelievable!

why is there no dl link?

and for all the work they put into it they end up with warped cars that look like someone took a blowtorch to a wax model? looks like their perspective correction sucked the big one.

:twisted:
