multiple snapshots of the same spot!!! That is
great that people find nice and interesting
details of the gigapans, but in many cases
snapshots show the same thing, especially in the
panoramas like this. It is simply impossible to
browse all the snapshots before taking one. If
someone like a spotted thing, perhaps it is better
to make a comment to existing snapshot rather than
taking another one. Perhaps the solution of
avoiding doubled or tripled snapshots would be
drawing of frames of all existing snapshots in
"Take a Snaphot" mode. Edited:
Ironically, when I was typing this comment someone
has taken a snapshot of the police car: gigapan.org/gigapans/48492/snapshot
s/166477/which I (and some other people) took
already: gigapan.org/gigapans/48492/snapshot

I appreciate the technical overview you provide on
YouTube. I would like to add that link to my Art
show found at www.youtube.com/user/stephenpaulwe
st#p/u/8/w5igNIH3mQw My show was simply an
overview of the wonderful artistic ability of this
technology, and it would be nice to include a more
technical video link for my viewers. Is it
possible to link to your video? Stephen Paul West.
GRRRREAT SHOT... well great job... shooting is
easy with gigapan! great stitching! epic100 has a
battery problem...but I work with extra
rechargeable batteries... do you need any special
permission to shot in Dubai? is so,m where is
issued? SEE YA
@Silverman - Hi. Got your message by email, but
can't see it here. Odd. Might be because
I'm on an iPad. Who knows? Anyway - to answer
your question, I can't actually remember
exactly how long it took to render. I think it was
of the order of 24-48 hours or so, but that was
without any smart blending (hence why there are so
many "ghosts" in the image).
@karimsaad: Try using Microsoft Research's
Image Composite Editor (ICE). You can download it
for free from research.microsoft.com/en-us/um/re
dmond/groups/ivm/ice / Use the "New
Structured Pano" feature to stitch a set of
photos taken with a GigaPan device, then export
using the Deep Zoom format to get a great viewing
experience from local disk. Or publish to the
Photosynth web site for a good viewing experience
online. Please give us feedback on ICE using our
forum at community.research.microsoft.com/f

Great Work! Impressive. One question, Does anybody
know how I can view panoramas locally on any
computer without the need of Gigapa.org or GigaPan
Stich? Thank you . Karim

Perfection in all things gigapan.

Hello Gerald, my company is interested in having a gigapixeled photo of Dubai. Is it possible to contact you regarding that? Kindly, let me know.
Zbigniew Malolepszy (April 16, 2011, 10:13PM )
Good to see it back. Thanks! This is no doubt "the best" gigapan so far.

Dubai has a broader view. I think Shanghai ( www.gigapan.org/gigapans/66626/ ) on the other hand has a different taste.
Goran Grbic (September 29, 2010, 02:59PM )
Hah, very well Gerald. Who'd say of something like that.

And the new world record goes to Vienna with 50 Gigapixel, (404864x124832 Pixel, stitched from more than 3600 images) See it here: photoartkalmar.com/Photoart < img src='/images/external_link.png' alt='Will open in a new tab or window' /> Kalmar high res/Gigapixel/index.html

WOW! This is unbelievably impressive. Really great that you used a gigapan as well. Print @ 300 DPI and cover a building...

Why do you flatly refuse to say how long it took to stitch? We know that it must have taken a long time but we would really like to know HOW long.

@ericsto Thanks a lot Eric. Will check it and let you know. Cheers, K.
