Subject:Re: What's a Gigapixel?

Thread:


Right.

Elaborating my the chain of thought from last night, we could say that a panorama that matches the human visual field with 4 times the resolution of the human eye, is in fact a Gigapixel panorama.

(200 hFOV x 135 vFOV) x (200 pixels per degree)^2 = 1,080,000,000 pixels.

Of course, that relies on the fact that Wikipedia is right about the numbers....
