A miniworld on a picture
Just the other day, while surfing around the internet I came across this website http://gigapixel-dresden.de/dresden26GP . As the website mentions it is the interactive snapshot of the town of Dresden, Germany.
“It consists of 1.665 full format pictures with 21.4 megapixel, which was recorded by a photo-robot in 172 minutes. The converting of 102 GB raw data by a computer with a main memory cache of 48 GB and 16 processors took 94 hours. With a resolution of 297.500 x 87.500 pixel (26 gigapixel) the picture is the largest in the world. (stand December 2009)”
Just caught my imagination. For others check http://www.afb-media.de/
