Biggest Panorama Photo Ever Captured

A panorama is any wide-angle view or representation of a physical space, whether in painting, drawing, photography, film/video, or a three-dimensional model.

A panoramic view is also proposed for multi-media, cross-scale applications to outline overview (from a distance) along and across repositories. This so called a cognitive panorama is a panoramic view over and a combination of cognitive spaces.

Nowadays Panorama Photography becomes Popular because of the significant rate of Smartphone users. 

Panorama photos is a new way of taking photos, which appear much wider and captures more area than normal photos. Starting from Android devices, Panorama feature made its’ entry to other smartphones, cameras, and even a Panorama ball which captures 360 Panorama photos named Squito.

How Panorama works is it captures different parts of the area separately while you move your phone/camera and stitches them together intelligently to make it one big photo. These are wide photos and have more resolution than ordinary photos we see in everyday life.

 Now, Here it is the biggest ever made Panorama photo. This is not just the biggest panorama photo captured ever, this is also the 2nd biggest photo. This is a 600,000 pixels wide 360 degree panorama captured in Tokyo.

The interesting thing is, even Photoshop can’t handle this panorama as the maximum resolution Photoshop supports is 300,000 pixels and this panorama is its double. The photo is captured using Canon 7D with 400mm f/5.6L lens and the camera was kept there for 12 hours to stitch the photos it captured.

All in all, here are some mind-blowing stats. There were 10,000 photos captured and stitched together by a 12 core Fujitsu Celsius R920 workstation which needed around 192GB of RAM to make the photo load. It took 12 weeks of processing for the final upload by Jeffrey Martin.
