Zoom and Enhance

[German_EE]

OK, so we have all seen CSI where they zoom in on a digital image until they can see the food stuck in a guys teeth and tell what he had for lunch. Here's the real thing, this is the highest resolution picture in the world:

Zoom in on the cable car and you can tell that the cab is empty, do the same on the tower crane and you will see that the driver is also out to lunch. When you get bored of that you can just look at the snow and the mountains.

I want them to do the same thing on the New York skyline.

I was very excited, until I found out its a composite of 70000 images.
Wouldn't google maps qualify for the largest panoramic "picture" of the  whole planet?

Google Moon and Google Mars are literally " out of this world" though. Celestia also has a pretty good view of the entire universe as seen from our point of view as well.

And it looks like the stitching of those images was done as a rush or not at all, many obvious features at the boundaries are out of alignment.

It's really the opposite of the CSI thing---the resolution is there to start with,& they just zoom out  to give the big pix.
The cruddy,blurry,pix in CSI doesn't have enough resolution to start with,so there is nothing to zoom in to.

I gave up on any Science aspect of CSI when they electrocuted someone with a motorbike battery!

nice, thanks for linking!

is the building with the cranes Piz Gloria?  there was lots of new construction going on there when we visited earlier this year...

Ten years ago, I saw a couple prints made from Clifford Ross' R1 High Resolution camera. He takes pictures on big pieces of aerial photography film then digitizes them to achieve a size of—as best as my Googlefu can muster—approximately 1 gigapixel ... no stitching, either.

But what if you bypass the quantum mainframe and type really fast? I bet you could enhance individual atoms out of that gas station video still!

Still waiting for an ESPER device from "Blade Runner". You could peek over corners with this puppy.
