GIGAPIXEL + GIGAPAN IMAGING SERVICE
A GigaPixel image is a digital image bitmap composed of one billion pixels (1,000 megapixels), more than 150 times the information captured by a 6 megapixel digital camera.
The GigaPan system (Gigapixel Panorama) is a NASA spinoff technology that can capture thousands of digital images and weave them into a uniform high-resolution picture. The process allows users to share and explore brilliant gigapixel+panoramas. The technology is the product of a two-year collaboration between Carnegie Mellon University and NASA Ames Intelligent Robotics Group, with support from Google.
The Mars Rovers Spirit and Opportunity used the GigaPan system to explore the Red Planet for more than five years. David Bergman's photos of President Obama's Inaugural Address and the Major League Baseball 2010 Opening Day at Target Field are some of the most popular and amazing GigaPan images created. As of July 2010, the world’s largest photograph is a 70-gigapixel, 360-degree view of Budapest.
