This too if you read TFS...

oh, and half of it is sky which doesnt really count. While this is the case with the other two i mentioned, it is not so with the 67 Gigapixel image of Corcoado

Are you trying to crash your server again out of spite or something? :)

It's not like I put the url into the post, and if you want to go to trouble of finding the site that's fine. According to google there are "about 14,200" mentions of it on various web pages with about five thousand blogs linking to it.

The New York Times, Canadian public broadcasting, The Guardian in the UK, a bunch of other newspapers in Scotland, Italy, a business magazine in Denmark, Time Magazine, Fox News, Wikipedia, and a zillion photography related sites all link to it

At this point I'm not too worried about the Slashdot effect. ...and this is *really* weird, I show up in a standardized reading comprehension test in Spain

WTF??? I just noticed that

I moved the 13 thousand images to a image hosting account that lives on amazon s3 and went from about 6800 html files to 20 files, so the transaction load is a lot smaller even if total size of the html files is about the same.

Actually, I like the version I put on gigapan better than my site, so go slashdot that

5.3 gigapixel image of Hanauma Bay in Hawaii.

Fantastic! I have made four observations:

• While this appeals to my voyeur side, I find the lack of attractive women disturbing.
• There appears to be a man with very attractive female-looking legs and a third arm growing out of his hip near the lower right edge of the sandy beach area.
• Look near the second guard station and the pavilion, photographic proof that we can detach our upper bodies from our legs. Interestingly enough, his shadow is in one piece.
• I have the same stroller as the woman near the third guard station, Graco Quattro Travel System, the style named Bermuda. We like it.

Wow, the image of Hanauma Bay caught images of ghost walking up and down the steps to the right, headless body and bodyless heads floating, hehehehe.

You can get better results with a robotic camera mount hooked up to a zoom lens than this sensor, or even by film captured through a drum scanner. The only difference is this can do it in one shot.

This sure looks like Deep Zoom and it works without Silverlight ..

...the functionality is awfully similar to GigaPan.

I don't watch much TV, but the functionality is awfully similar to GigaPan.

The article links to a sample located at http://www.gigapan.org/

This is a pretty cool project, and I actually saw it when I was at CMU a bit ago (and was wondering what the hell it was).

There's a CMU press release about it.
The site with all the pictures is http://www.gigapan.org/
You can see the hardware here.

The only problem with this, and any other multi-picture stitching, is that you get obvious stitching problems when there is any movement in the scene, like the trolley in the middle of this scene.

Gigapan has the original Lawrence kite photo from after the earthquake. You can zoom in and explore. It was digitized at about 60 megapixels.
