Gigapixel Photography:

To begin with, gigapixel photography consists of assembling a large number of high-definition shots. Here, we are talking about several hundred, or even a few thousand different shots. This is done in order toincrease the size and resolution of the final image. The latter being the sum of the images composing the gigapixel. Also, the shooting is possibly done using a robotic head. As well as a macro lens or a telephoto lens. This type of photography can be used on a landscape (see Paris 360) or as in the example below of an array.

In this respect, the gigapixel brings the definition that no other device can provide in photography. By combining high-definition images, made with a specialized lens (macro, apochromatic), the image allows an exceptional level of zoom. Here, we are talking about X50 and more if needed. This allows us to see elements that are indistinguishable to the naked eye, and to give at the same time an overview of the work. It's a very interesting tool for museums. Particularly for the conservation of works, or for communication. The gigapixel can be inserted in an interactive virtual tour. But it can also be combined with other technologies, such as 360 photography for three-dimensional works. As well as other multimedia elements: text, photos, videos, sounds, timelapse, etc.
