Salt Lake Panorama Before Editing

Caption

This panoramic mosaic of the Salt Lake Valley was taken by a camera mounted on a robotic panning device atop a University of Utah building. It consists of more than 600 separate photographs that contain a total of 3.27 gigapixels (3.27 billion pixels) of image data. The seams between individual photos are readily apparent, as are differences in light exposure. To edit the photos into a single, seamless, evenly exposed panorama would take hours using normal methods to edit such huge images. The mosaic has been reduced to about 1 megabyte in this image.
