Gigapixel Imagery

Overview
A photographic display system capable of capturing a gigapixel (one billion pixels) of visual information in a single image. The system provides an overall view of images at a very large scale allowing viewers to visualize extremely fine details. Funded by the state of North Carolina, the technique involves taking several pictures with a digital camera and stitching the sub-images together to form a 3D-like photograph.
