They mention gigapixel cameras, my (brief) googling couldn't find any evidence that such a thing exists, except for an experimental one at Duke https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ldQXHP7TFUE https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ldQXHP7TFUE. Although I suppose a gigapixel photo can be made by taking pictures by multiple cameras at the same time just as well. Still, wouldn't that sort of thing be available commercially, at least for the enthusiasts out there?
- mikecb 11y agoI imagine they're thinking of something like ARGUS, detailed in a great PBS program called "Rise of the Drones"
- TorKlingberg 11y agoThe Gaia space observatory has a gigapixel camera. It contains 106 CCD sensors. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gaia_%28spacecraft%29 http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gaia_%28spacecraft%29

- semi-extrinsic 11y agoThere are gigapixel cameras available for enthusiasts today, but they're based on huge (think 20x30 cm) analog film negatives that are subsequently scanned at 3000+ dpi.
