World's Largest Digital Camera Takes 3,200 Megapixel Photos! (LSST)

[@engchoontan8483]

Considering that stitching of photos is a mathematical-computational algorithm, the baseline should be gyroscope, accelerometer, A-GPS as reference-point of every camera and its sensor... with triangulation like Lidar, radar, architectural tools... the establishment of reference point for positional-sensors to report its position and use that reference to stitch photos instead of depending on the photo to stitch photo... maybe you are right about samsung being able to include all that in a single phone with women swinging arms in public like chimpanzees as a consequence Interlaced mpeg video at lowered resolutions can capture reverse-paint canvas... especially with a 3G or 4G mobile hotspot router as an additional reference to 5G A-GPS for increased-precision positional-reference-point

[@firstletterofthealphabet7308]

@@Lancea1ot4k, assuming an even 4000 pixels of image width (which often varies up or down depending on camera model), would be about 10-12 megapixels at conventional digital camera sensor dimensions of 4:3 to 3:2. 8MP at 4k assumes an image height of 500 pixels, and I don’t think 8:1 is a very common image aspect ratio. Bad math.

Making a timelaspe of the night sky is basically how the Greeks found out that some of the stars are actually planets. Kepler basically does time lapses of individual star systems. So called timelaspes have always been a powerful tool when it comes to space research, this is just the most modern and large scale example of it.

Astronomical proportions... i see what you did there.

[@CandC68]

Back in the old days(60 years ago), a friend worked in remote sensing, when they used film, BIG film. He told a story of a couple "clever" technicians. The films was measured in feet. So they could resolve very fine (almost microscopic) detail. They took pictures of money of various countries. Tweaked the film images and printed their own. Apparently bags of it. It was very convincing back in the day. They got caught when one of them bought a very expensive car, for "cash." Far above their salaries.

It's scientific research not Bob's photo gallery, they're using supercomputers and processing all the data coming from the sensors, every pixel.

I am curious to know how this can take pictures through our atmosphere which was why hubble and James web were placed above the atmosphere and L2 orbit.

[@jacobpowers4855]

The focal length is much shorter so the distortion isn’t as important. They also still have optical correction for atmospheric distortion using actuators on the mirrors.

Lasers. You can see how the atmospher distorts a couple of lasers and correct for it. At least this is how the LBT in AZ does it FWIR.
