Following a story on the BBC News website about Dutch researchers creating the largest panoramic digital image in the world, many readers wrote in to dispute the claim. Although the 2.5 gigapixel snap taken of Delft in the Netherlands is the largest panoramic photo taken from a fixed point and fused into a single image by especially tailored technology, there are larger digital images in the world.
One example is the 10,000 gigapixel Millennium Map that is a complete aerial photograph of Britain put together by imaging company Getmapping UK. "The image consists of an seamless aerial photograph of England and Wales stitched together using approximately 160,000 images," said Richard Rowles, systems developer for the firm.
