A few days ago, the largest picture of the world has been published online: it is a view of Paris taken from the top of Saint-Sulpice church. A high resolution picture, consisting of over 26 billion pixels, the temporary consecration of the global emulation around high-res pictures.
The authors of the photo of Paris, Arnaud Frich, Martin Loyer and the French company Kolor can feel relief, as they spent a year and a half waiting and working for a single photo. Or rather 2 346 images: there are no device which has the ability to take a billions pixels shot. The record is "just" the association of 2 346 megapixel photos taken at the same time through a motorized pan head. In this case, 138 columns of 17 lines, or 354,159 x 75,570 pixels.
