Dubai, Dubai 45,000 Megapixel Photo - World's Largest Photo
Dubai videos | Buildings | Information | History | Emirates | View
GigaPan's robotic camera mounts can help spit out pictures to create fantastically detailed panoramic photos. That's what photographer Gerald Donovan has used to create what is being billed as the world's largest photo. Donovan has created a 45-gigapixel image of Dubai that, if printed, would be the size of nearly 1,200 billboards, says GigaPan. The photo consists of 4,250 pictures that took about three-and-a-half hours to shoot. "This was intended as a technical test," Donovan said in a statement. "It was about exploring the limits of the hardware and software out there." Earlier attempts using the GigaPan Epic mount have resulted in an 18-gigapixel panoramic view photo of Prague and a 26-gigapixel image of Paris. GigaPan launched its Epic Pro mount in March. The mount can handle a DSLR camera and lens combination of up to 10 lbs. Earlier versions of the mount were created for lightweight and compact cameras. The Pro, designed with a magnesium chassis and aluminum arm, weighs about 8 lbs including the battery pack and features such as the ability to adjust time between exposure, motor speed, aspect ratio and picture overlap. The image of Dubai's landscape was shot using using a Canon 7D camera coupled with the Pro mount. With the help of GigaPan engineers, Donovan stitched the thousands of photos into one very large image using the Autopano stitching software and uploaded it to the GigaPan.org site. Check out the 45-gigapixel photo of Dubai http://www.gigapan.org/gigapans/48492/. You can zoom in and out and get a great view of Dubai including the world's tallest building, the Burj Khailfa. The picture isn't crystal clear though. Donovan says the poor air quality in Dubai when he shot the photo is to blame.

this is just panonrama made by 4 mega pixels camera with 100 photo

you mean 45 Gigapixels

Stitching capability mainly relies on the quality of computer gear.
Take as many photo as possible and stitch them & make a bigger photo.
If canon 7D with just 20 million megapixel was able to create 450 million pixel image,
5D mark IV equipped with 50 million will push that number to an eye-gouging 1125 million.
And also theoretically possible to predict that in the near future, along with some revolutionary interpolation technique, put a 900 million pixel into a FF 35mm CMOS. Nikon coolpix p900 with merely 4.3x3.6mm sized sensor effectively interpolated up to 16 mega-pixel. With backside illuminated sensor(BSI) applied to 35mm FF CMOS sensor, if interpolation is effectively successful, mini-sensor like the ones in your cell phone can take full advantage of the large FF sensor 35mm and increase the amount of pixels exponentially.
________________________________________________________________
nikon p900 sensor size 4.3*3.6 = area size 15mm2--> 16 megapixel
a full FF 35mm sensor 36*24 = area size 860mm2---> ???
FF sensor area is about 57 times bigger than nikon 900
∴ 16 megapixel * 57 = about 910 mega-pixel. (on a single 35mm digital camera)
AND this 910 megapixel is about 25 times bigger than 7D with 20 million pixel
Therefore , it may be assumed that arithmatically Dubai photo can get up to size
11250 million OR 11 billion 250 million pixels OR 11 giga-pixel.
________________________________________________________________
50 million pixel single image is roughly 50mb at uncompressed RAW format.
11250 million pixel is 250 times bigger in pixel size
Thus, 250 * 50mb = 12500mb = 12 gigabyte on a single RAW image.
You buy a 64gb SD card, you can still save about 5 images of these Lol

This only deals with a regular handy 35mm FF sensor camera,
if applied to larger medium format or above.. THAT pixel amount will double or quadruple. -
I think it is taken by 11MP camera only.

I want that picture. Where can I download ?
-
thats shit! i have a 1000000000000000000 magapixel camera! this picture is so small and blury. I took a picture of the whole world with my camera and i still saw the nip-slip titties :o
-
OMG Man how many megapixels has it got!!!???!!!
-
Camera featured in the iPhone 10
-
So 1gb size of a photo?

I meant i have 50,000 GB CAMERA.

I have 50,000 megapixel camera i made my self. I am selling for £10,000 each unit

Hello, have you tried "photo SFX art" (just do a Google search for it...)? There you can watch a nice free video showing how to shoot outstanding photographs. It helped Joe to take photos which have that wow-effect whenever you take a look at them. It may work for you as well...

Amazing!!!¡
