dracodraconisHow to get gigapixel photos from a cheap digicam - tech - 27 February 2009 - New Scientist
 I mentioned yesterday that new technologies exist for super-resolution photography. One approach is known as Gigapan and uses a robotically-controlled digital camera set on full zoom. The robotic system takes hundreds or thousands of pictures that are then stitched together to form a single super-high resolution image, on in which you can zoom in to any area to see details invisible in the full view, like the beachgoer invisible in the top (full-sized) image. Some people have even extended the gigapan principle to make 3D gigapans from stereo views of the scene. |
