Did you see the chick in the short white shorts in the middle of the middle building.

if only they had 1.5GPixel camera...

1.5 Mega more than giga is the norm on mobiles.

How big would a single photo file be at 1 gigapixel? About a thousand times bigger than a 1 megapixel picture?

Just noticed something else too:

For years people have laughed at series like CSI etc when they would zoom in on a photo, it would turn fuzzy, then a sharper version would magically appear on top. Unrealistic, silly, stupid.

But now that's exactly how a gigapixel camera's photo site works! :-)

The gigapixel photo site works that way because it downloads and displays new tiles as you zoom in, just as satellite image map sites do. On the other hand, law enforcement shows such as CSI start with a still from a security camera recorded at 300 lines, zoom in on a tiny license plate that's maybe a 225 pixel area in the image, if that, and in a few seconds, their software "cleans it up" to reveal the plate number.

i do wonder how long it took you to find that...

Oh I know gigapixel cameras have higher resolutions, but it was just the implementation which made me laugh. It's exactly like those TV programmes...

haha, me too. I zoomed in on the middle building first, in about the middle of that. There she was... I think my subconscious directed me :)

I then scanned most of the rest of the image. Anyone else notice the backpacker sitting on the bench next to his backpack? I think he is waiting for the bus...

cool stuff!!

Also

WTF is this??

Maybe the gigapixel is alien technology????

With the internet bringing us mindblowing entertainment like this, it's an exciting time to be alive. ;-)

ok, i'll be the first pessimist. these photos get pretty soft and slightly noisy at 1:1. so, they're not really worth every pixel, if you know what i mean.

yup. so, since a 1MP jpeg is about 200KB, 1GP (at the same compression) would probably be about 200MB. with a 32GB SD card, you could store 160 photos.

Just had an idea for how a gigapixel camera could be used: A real life version of Where's Wally!

You'd get someone to dress as Wally and then hide somewhere in a landscape. The photo would get posted to the web and people could use the tool in the link above to scan it trying to find him.

There is no gigapixel camera

How does it work?

Gigapixel images are created by tiling a large number of photographs, or scanning a large film negative (8" x 10"). Gigapixel images are displayed on-line using streaming technology which breaks the image into small tiles and loads them as you look. This allows you instantly view high-resolution images that are over several gigabytes in size.
I wonder if they are doing anything with satellite imagery, that would be pretty cool.

I'll set you a challenge... find an Aston Martin DB9 on the picture! First one gets a complimentary Thanks!

Is this it? I'm not sure as I don't know cars that well...

Krisse, I'm afraid that's a BMW 6 series. And Caira, that's a Jag XKR, which is very tasty too. Though looking back at the Aston, I think it might be a DB7, looks a bit too rounded for a DB9...

Nah, that's not a 350Z, it's the Aston! You've unknowingly found it! Well done! :D

Also, where's the 'Thanks!' button now? Please don't tell me they got rid of it...

If interested, here's a gigapan picture of Obama's inauguration. Although the cold weather precluded any women in white shorts, I think it's a cooler photo since you can zoom in to literally thousands of close-ups of faces.
