Landscape of the world's largest, 45 billion pixel super-huge Dubai that can zoom anywhere

I think that everyone has the desire to keep the landscape that remained in their impression properly, but in such a case convenient is the panorama shooting function of the camera.

Although it is possible to obtain super high resolution photos comparatively easily by pasting a number of images, by using that technology, it is possible to obtain a super large size of 45 gigapixels (45 billion pixels) Some JPEG images are released.

Although it can not be called a pin even if it is said to be 45 billion pixels, it is 3750 times the number of pixels, compared with that of the 12 million pixel model with the largest number of pixels among camera phones currently on sale, Even if it is expanded it has become amazing that its definition does not change.

Details are below.
This is the world's largest image. It was taken from the top of the building under construction by Korean capital and was made by joining 4250 JPEG images.
