A 2.5 gigapixel photo

TNO has produced the largest digital panoramic photo in the world.

So, what do we mean by large? After all, modern consumer cameras can
easily take a picture with 5 million pixels. Well, we are talking
about a photo of completely different dimensions. One with 2.5 billion
pixels - that's 500 times more pixels. If this photo were printed, it
would measure 6.67 m by 2.67 m (300 dpi). The photograph shows Delft
and its surroundings in the autumn of 2004. It was taken from the top
of the Electrical Engineering faculty of Delft University, at a height
of about 100 m, by TNO.
