Commercially, we have gigapixel imagers [1]. (100 km^2) / (1 billion) = 0.1 m^2 https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gigapixel_image https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/

- ArnoVW 6y ago1 gigapixel means 32768 pixels per side (assuming a square image).
- TeMPOraL 6y agoSo you now have 3 pixels per meter in each direction of the 10km x 10km square.
- mkl 6y ago100 km^2 ≠ (100 km)^2. For a 100km by 100km image, 1 gigapixel gives you pixels 3.16m by 3.16m, 10m^2 each. Probably still enough to track boats though.
