Not sure if this has been posted but its pretty amazing nontheless...

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

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.

Kinda scary in the way this could possibly be used as spy camera technology. Unnerving, to say the least

ah man, you have to zoom. I wanted one enormous picture that would take like an hour to load :D

IIRC the original gigapixel image was 2gb

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

I'd say you have a bit more than an hour :?

it was posted before, or at least one of them, there are a few of them. dont know that might of been back on scape, anyhow it was a while ago. pretty cool nonetheless

Yeah, that is a pretty amazing picture there.

 

 

 

Technology today is pretty amazing.

I remeber that image. It's very impressive.

I can in the ones in the left parking lot ;)

Lol yeah I saw that a few months ago. Its funny to search around and find weird things where the photos were joined like headless people and busses ontop of cars hehe :D

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

I hope some day they can take a picture like that of my city, Leiden. The city in the picture is Delft, which isn't too far away from here.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Still has some fixing to do :lol:

Clever jigsawskills thats all.

Yeah I remember this being posted while back.

 

 

 

It's lots of images all put together hence the jigsaw and hence the ghostly images :P

 

 

 

It's an interesting picture. I remember spending quite a while just zooming in on random things.

I can read almost every numberplate on there. On the parking lot in the bottom-left area of the pic, there's even one without a plate :P On another forum I visit there was a game with that pic, where people took turns trying to find cars with specific numberplates or other small details.

Heh, didn't we even have a "find me" topic on this, where we had to spot things other people saw? :lol:

 

 

 

Amazing pic anyhow, I've had it bookmarked forever now! If only I could take a pic like that... :shock:

Where's Waldo??

Yea, this is freaking awsome!!!!!!1111

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

You can read the lisense plate!
