Breaking the Gigapixel Barrier
megas writes "Max Lyons has just posted on his site what seems to be the first 1 Gigapixel picture, created from 196 separate photographs taken with a 6 megapixel digital camera, and then stitched together into one seamless composite. According to Max, he has 'been unable to find any record of a higher resolution photographic (i.e. non-scientific) digital image that has been created without resizing a smaller, lower resolution image or using an interpolated image.'"
so... Uhmm... I looked at the picture, and where is the naked chick?
Get your asses in gear, GNAA!
Since Slashdot is now only worth reading for the trolls, it is very frustrating to listen to these stupid Linux losers talk about gigapixels. GNAA me, sluts!
Here's another gigapixel photo in the meantime. The detail is impressive, to say the least.
LOL u soudn smart do u hav a newsleter pls i can sine up 4 pls?????????// thx pr0nboy@hotmails.com
ADVthxANCE
Apparently these guys also handle wide format. (It's a joke, laugh).
I downloaded his picture and stitched it to 4 other copies... Now we have a 5 GP picture. Beat that!
You know I bet this guy had to have thought to himself "Just imagine a beowulf cluster of 6 megapixel images all stitched together to form one really big image!"
Couldn't you just use some fractal program to generate infinite detail in a "gigapixel" fractal picture? You could easily beat this guy just by sacrificing a bit of rendering time.
