iipimage.sourceforge.net — IIPimage is a client-server system for the remote viewing of ultra-high resolution images over the internet. Their demo of NASA's incredible ultra high resolution Marble Earth image at 86400 x 43200 pixels is probably the biggest single image ever made available online!

How about on 28800 connection? That's about 3 KB/sec. due to crappy GTE/Verizon phone lines.

Actually - a jumbotron usually is very low resolution (Like 640x480 or something) because the viewing distance is so great that higher resolution is irrelevant because the human eye couldn't resolve the detail anyway... A jumbo-tron sized 72 or 90 dpi monitor, maybe...

Okay. Then download Google earth. The whole image. It can't be compared. You can't just download Google earth in full resolution (let me know if you can). Eric Wilson

This guy must be pissed. <a class="user" href="http://www.tawbaware.com/maxlyons/gigapixel.htm">http://www.tawbaware.com/maxlyons/gigapixel.htm</a>I remember seeing this a while ago.<a class="user" href="http://digg.com/technology/Breaking_the_Gigapixel_Barrier">http://digg.com/technology/Breaking_the_Gigapixel_Barrier</a>This one is pretty cool too. You can see license plates easily where you can barely see cars in the full frame.<a class="user" href="http://triton.tpd.tno.nl/gigazoom/Delft2.htm">http://triton.tpd.tno.nl/gigazoom/Delft2.htm</a>I see now that this has been Dugg a few times.

No, it's a patchwork of thousands and thousands of small images.

That image was released in 2005.... You're a smart one boy.

I don't believe that this is the largest image online any longer. Take e.g. the images from Spain's Prado museum made by Google: They have 14,000 million pixels, which are 14 gigapixels! (<a class="user" href="http://www.google.com/intl/en/landing/prado/)">http://www.google.com/intl/en/landing/prado/)</a> Furthermore, I just found the following wikipedia article, which claims that "Yosemite-17-Gigapixels/Glacier Point" is the largest digital photograph with more than 17 gigapixels:<a class="user" href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Largest_photographs_in_the_world#Digital_photograph">http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Largest_photographs_i ...</a>
