Imaginea a fost facuta cu un Canon 5d Mark II cu o lentila de 400 mm. Este compusa din 1.665 de imagini la rezolutia de 21.4 megapixeli, care a fost inregistrata de un robot in 172 de minute. Convertirea a 102 GB poze raw de catre un computer de 48 GB si 16 procesoare a durat 94 de ore. Cu o rezolutie de 297.500 x 87.500 pixel (26 gigapixel), ea este cea mai mare poza din lume!

Prague TV Tower – World’s Largest Spherical Panorama

Bastante impressionante navegar pelas imagens. Dá pra fazer muita coisa legal com isso.

Na semana passada, postei um endereço de um site que demonstra a qualidade de uma foto com 1 gigapixel, meu amigo Rodrigo Morhy, fuçando a net, encontra um site com exemplos de fotos com, nada menos, que 17 gigapixel.

Obrigado Morhy pela colaboração e pelas visitas ao blog.

Uma imagem de altíssima resolução é uma imagem digital composta por mais de um bilhão de pixels.

Clique na imagem e confira a qualidade ;D

Não sei, na verdade, se estas fotos possuem 1 gigapixel, mas não deixa de ser muito interessante o sistema de visualização das fotografias.

Posted by VINESH Labels: Forget Megapixels: Here Comes the Gigapixel Sky Camera To help Earth’s inhabitants avoid the fate of the dinosaurs and the Clovis people, researchers with the Panoramic Survey Telescope and Rapid Response System ( ) have developed the world’s largest digital camera, which can capture 1.4 billion pixels, to scan the skies for approaching asteroids or comets. The camera is scheduled to begin its search this month with the Pan-Starrs-1 telescope in Haleakala, Hawaii Pan-Starrs will repeatedly scan the same portions of the sky to look for changes, such as the supernova discovered during the telescope’s test runs last fall. And if an asteroid is detected hurtling toward Earth Scientists and engineers are still working on ways to use spacecraft to alter its orbit 0 comments:

I am super excited to premiere the university’s first gigapixel image! We just got our GigaPan EPIC robotic camera mount and I had the opportunity to setup our first shot from atop Houchens-Smith Stadium looking north, up the Hill. The resolution is amazing! This image is a compilation of 160 photos into one large, 51,000×9800 pixel panorama. So take a peek around, zoom in and find the minute details in everyday life. We will produce more of these throughout the year and post them often.

WKU GigaPan #1

TimeScience has partnered with the Borevitz Lab at the University of Chicago to create Gigavision, a solar powered, ruggedized camera system that can record multi-billion pixel image timelapse panoramas.
See http://www.gigavision.org for more info and check back here for updates.

The Gigavision system will enable recording and analysis of decades-long time lapse images of the environment at a scale of billions of pixels. Gigapixel resolution time-lapse images make possible visual and numeric analysis of phenological and environmental change across a wide spatial range from the level of the individual to the ecosystem. Gigavision data can be embedded in geospatial visualization tools such as Google Earth and Google maps and used in interactive kiosk displays in National Parks and conservation areas. In addition to scientific applications, gigapixel time-lapse datasets can be used to create compelling video content to promote conservation and educate the public about climate change and other slow but significant environmental change. Giapixel image sets can also be integrated into online interactive educational products.

The Gigavision camera system uses a standard 12 megapixel SLR digital camera with a fixed 200mm lens, a computer controlled pan-tilt mechanism, a mini-computer or microcontroller, solid state data storage, a weatherproof housing and an off-grid power supply. Gigavision systems will be designed to work in rugged environments while streaming live data directly to the web via a cellular or standard 802.11 wireless connection. Optional components include a weather sensors and other abiotic sensor arrays.

Based on the Gigapan concept developed by Carnegie-Melon University the Gigavision recording system will work with our TimeSystem software. The TimeSystem software is an innovative data visualization system designed to facilitate easy analysis and management of time-lapse images and related data. With both a desktop and web-based interface, TimeSystem enables easy sharing of data, collaboration between researchers and promotes a wide range of uses for long-term data sets, from academic research to educational modules. The TimeSystem interface can be configured for use by multiple user groups from research scientists, to educators to conservation groups. Users of the TimeSystem software can easily generate high definition video of landscape change or any other interesting event for presentations, public outreach or conservation campaigns. The TimeSystem can also function in a kiosk installation to provide compelling interactive time-lapse content for National Parks and conservation areas.

one of my gigapan-images, the one of the eiffeltower, is printed in the Carnegie Mellon Magazine as example of the gigapan-process and the idea behind it.

El gigapan es un artilugio con el que se hacen fotografías de calidad de “gigapixel” a base de tomar y unir muchas (cientos, miles) de fotografías de alta calidad.

Todos (o muchos) lo conocerán por la famosa foto de la investidura de Obama y muy poco sentido tiene ya que hable yo de esto excepto para resaltar esta gigapan de una hormiga.

Me ha llamado mucho la atención que esta técnica, usada para macrofotografía, se haya empleado en una fotografía obtenida por microscopio electrónico, pues el resultado es poder admirar con precisión todos los detalles de la anatomía del insecto.

Aquí os dejo algunas capturas de lo que más me ha impresionado:

Pero como pasa en todas las máquinas creadas por el hombre, la gigapan no es perfecta y puede cometer fallos:

[Update]: Hier der Link zu den Rohversionen. Nutzt den Reiter “Herunterladen”, dann erkennt man auch etwas . Am Wochenende dann mit Retuschen. Für technisch Interessierte: Die Bilder sind mit AutoPano Pro bearbeitet. Eine kostenlose Alternative ist “The Panorama Factory“. Mehr Infos zu Panoramen und Stitching hier. Im nächsten Urlaub also einfach mal “Fotos im Kreis” machen. Wichtigster Tipp: Immer einen Teil “überlappen” lassen, dann hat´s die Software einfach, Referenzpunkte zu finden. Haben die im Yosemite-Park bei ihrem 17-Gigapixel-Foto sicher auch gemacht (über 2.000 Einzelfotos, 214.000 x 80.000 Pixel, über 96 GB, Autopano Pro).

Auf vielfachen Wunsch: Am Freitag gibt´s hier die PanarenaPanoramabilder der Firmenläufer. Ich will mal nicht versprechen, dass sie schon fix und fertig fertig retuschiert sind (und “Bildfehler” wie Rück- statt Frontansichten damit korrigiert), aber in einer Nachtschicht sind jetzt schonmal die gemachten Bilder zusammengefügt (der “Stitcher” spräche hier von “gerendered”) und das Ergebnis ziemlich knorke (rein vom technischen Aspekt her, zu retuschieren gibt es nämlich jede Menge). Die Bilder haben ein Format von 11:000 x 4.000 Pixeln, ein Fest für Zoomer und Scroller. Also, Freitag im Laufe des Tages mehr.

Panorama Prahy z Petřínské rozhledny – Gigapixel in Praha

We just spotted this amazing picture of Yaletown on the Internet. But it’s not just pretty! Check out the link below for a higher quality version of the same picture and by zooming you can literally sneak into people’s living-rooms. Check out what it means when someone speaks about Gigapixel Photography! It’s fascinating, freaky and even a bit scary! Take care about what you do in front of your windows…
