[edit] Mine's bigger than yours
Now there appears to be a terapixel image available online, with dimensions of 1,029,338,906,850 pixels. See http://blogs.adobe.com/jnack/2007/05/worlds_first_te.html, although at almost 3000 GB, who'd want it on their desktop?--kwg06516 13:40, 5 September 2007 (UTC)
[edit] Photos
Maybe someone can obtain the permissions to use the TNO photo on Wikipedia or something... [[User:Squash|Squash (Talk)]] 05:12, Dec 5, 2004 (UTC)
[edit] New World's Largest?
I heard reports that Boeing now has the world's record for the largest digital graphic in the world for their photo on the Everett's factory doors. The |Boeing Blog mentions it. I'll look around for other sources. I guess it might not be a pure photograph, seems like there was some graphics editing. Any thoughts? CoachMcGuirk 14:30, 26 April 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Personal Project
I just read an article on popular science about a Graham Flint, and his project dubbed "Gigapxl". He has apparently created 4 gigapixel images using his modified U2 spy plane camera. The article can be found at this link:
I'm not really sure how the updating of a wikipedia article works, but at least this will give someone some newer information.
[edit] Google Earth / Nasa Worldwind
Shouldn't Google Earth or Nasa Worldwind be considered "the largest photograph in the world"? I mean, they are huge mosaics of many photographs, much like that Delft one. —Preceding unsigned comment added by anonymous (talk • contribs)
- I'm not sure about Nasa, but definitely not on Google. Go look at Chicago, IL on GE, for example. The angles of buildings relative to the camera and their shadows change noticeably from one grid to the next, indicating multiple photographs as the source. Really, the largest photo should arise from a single shot, which might even overrule hi-rez scans like the one I indicated above.--kwg06516 13:40, 5 September 2007 (UTC)
[edit] dimensions
1/3 length of a football field - which 'football'? US, Australian, Gaelic, Canadian or just plain football? The use of gallons is also confusing; are these US gallons or imperial gallons? Markb 14:08, 6 October 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Google Earth
Could Google Earth and similar projects be considered a digital photograph? They are a kind of photostitching/mosaicing like some of the other digital entries, so should there be a mention? Blahbleh 08:51, 7 May 2007 (UTC)
[edit] Google Earth
The difference in these large pictures and google earth is that these pictures are taken from a single point, right?
[edit] Fair use rationale for Image:Gigapixel small.jpg
Image:Gigapixel small.jpg is being used on this article. I notice the image page specifies that the image is being used under fair use but there is no explanation or rationale as to why its use in this Wikipedia article constitutes fair use. In addition to the boilerplate fair use template, you must also write out on the image description page a specific explanation or rationale for why using this image in each article is consistent with fair use.
Please go to the image description page and edit it to include a fair use rationale. Using one of the templates at Wikipedia:Fair use rationale guideline is an easy way to ensure that your image is in compliance with Wikipedia policy, but remember that you must complete the template. Do not simply insert a blank template on an image page.
If there is other fair use media, consider checking that you have specified the fair use rationale on the other images used on this page. Note that any fair use images lacking such an explanation can be deleted one week after being tagged, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you.
