High res digital camera

[Harut82]

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.

you can zoom in forever

[!EEK]

Cool..! In fact you just have to take one picture of the whole city and zoom as you like

That's pretty cool but you can clearly see glitches where things have been moving ... I don't think the camera took the shot in one snap ... sometimes parts of objects are missing from one tile to another ... especially with moving cars or bikes.

Still very cool though.

This picture is totally fake! I found a man cut in half!!

Between the stadium and the parking at the right, you see a man walking on the pavement near a blue bicycle sign...well zoom in: he is cut in half!!

I have the eye of the eagle!


edit: lol he doesn't even cast a shadow

I didn't notice any glitches. Can you give a few examples?

Actually, he's cut in half, but his shadow is all there. haha

I don't think it's "fake" per se, but it is not a single snapshot ... it's multiple snapshots from different times stitched together. Maybe it's an artifact of how their CCD processes and stores the data .... that's a LOT of data if you think about it

[!EEK]

...well...it means the camera can't handle it alone then... I'm teh best... Eye of the tiger!

*grrrr
