Amazing! The Worlds First 111 Gigapixel Image!

This is great, thank you for posting this.

I could spend forever looking at this stuff.


Sadly, I found a couple of homeless areas

Homeless camp 1
Homeless Camp 2

Thanks OP, That pic is amazing.

erm. It has to reload when you zoom in. I really don't see how this is any different than google image. Is it a single frame image? because It don't look like it.

wow, incredible. So these kinds of cameras are on satellites as well i'm sure. And they couldn't tell if Bin Laden was at that compound or not... sure.. They can see everything from up there.

This is amazing! Totally bookmarking it.

When I get done with work here, I'm going to see what I can find!

Looks cool, but I'm not that impressed. Imagine what would happen if you took something like the Hubble Telescope and pointed it toward the earth. As if intelligence agencies world-wide aren't doing that already.

S & F'd nonetheless.

Great find!! Can't wait untill I get home to mess around with this one! Thanks to all my fellow ATSer's for the time and effort you all put in!!

thats due to the photo being a collage or panorama.

That's exactly what I thought when I looked at it.

Many great minds think alike.

Wow this is amazing. Star and flag OP'er

But why when I click the second thumbnail to see the guy in the little kayak(sp?) boat. It takes me directly to this huge Toyota plant, and thier crazy alien looking logo?

Seriously though this is frigging awesome.

The sky anomolies imo are fast moving birs, thats whhy they look strange and blurry.

Way to much power to be put into the hands of man, sadly once again something awesome will be abused.
This post out of all the posts to me is the scariest of all.

This is awesome, star & flag!
Now I want a digital camera of that power, lol A much, much greater level of power than a consumer should ever have, but very cool tech, lol

Awesome picture but you gotta wonder how the ptb will use it 4 their advantage.
Two thumbs up !!!

In case some of you were wondering how these kind of images exist, they are made using a machine called a "Gigapan" and it takes an insane amount of photos with whatever camera you mount to it and stitches them together using software to make it viewable as you see it. These weren't taken as "one", a camera sensor along with a lens required for such resolution just doesn't exist.

This a collage of photos and not a special technology camera photo !!..

Hi guys!

Thought I'd share this with you. Now get a load of this.

The world’s first 111 giga-pixel image!

It’s remarkable how far we’ve reached in technology. I wish this sort of stuff is made available for all future unmanned missions to the Moon and Mars. Then we can see if there’s something really out there and put to rest the conspiracies once and for all!

Ok, this first image is a screen shot of something without zooming in. I’ve marked it with a yellow arrow. Here….

So, what do you think it is? Check it out in the next image….. Yep! It’s a little one foot square pedestrian crossing signboard !!

Mind boggling resolution, eh?

And here’s the link to that giga image. Scroll around and enjoy!

This is how it was done….www.sevilla111.com...

Thanks to mike who sent me the link.

You're forgetting that everything that is the latest technology available to the public has been available to the government for decades.

IOW, government photos of the moon's surface aren't the same quality that are released to the public.

Thanks for the post.

apple users... lol

I am awestruck. I found a far away sign that was actually "linked" to another page on the website. What I am wondering is whether or not the government has technology like this for use on satellites. Can you imagine if there have been satellites in space for years that allow the military/government to view any location in the world with this much clarity?

If they do not have them, after this I am sure they soon will. I am simply speechless. This is the coolest thing I have seen in a while.

Can't see him? Ok, here he is!!!

Wow!! Bloody awesome!!!

edit on 18-5-2011 by OrionHunterX because: (no reason given)

Looks more like a sniper 3 seconds after taking down a target


Star to the guy who found the moon as well.

Ok I really gotta stop looking at this picture my eyes are hurting.
