How to Make a Gigapixel Picture
Posted by James Fee in "ARTICLE" @ 12:00 PM
"The Dutch team used already available technologies, although it had to upgrade them to be able to handle the high-resolution image. "We had to rewrite almost all the tools," Me den Hartog told the BBC News website. "All standard Windows viewers available would not be able to load such a large image, so we had to develop one ourselves." The 600 component pictures were taken on July 2004 by a computer-controlled camera with a 400 mm lens. Each image was made to slightly overlap so they could be accurately arranged into a composite. The stitching process was also done automatically using five powerful PCs over three days."
An interesting look at the project we posted about earlier. Is anyone here using software to stitch together photos at home?
