Salt Lake Panorama After Quick Editing

Caption

Using sophisticated new software named ViSUS, computer scientists at the University of Utah Scientific Computing and Editing Institute took only seconds to produce this seamless, evenly exposed preview of the full panorama of the Salt Lake Valley. It looks almost as good as the full, 3.27-gigapixel panorama, even though it contains only one-3,600th as much image data. The new software is meant to help doctors, intelligence analysts, artists, photographers, engineers and others quickly and easily edit "massive imagery" that contains hundreds of gigapixels of picture data.
