Wow!

We are bidding a large project. They have spent a ton of money buying a lot of software from a vendor we buy from, and use. The folks I went to DC to train on that sofware. We use the same camera equipment as that client is going to buy, but they need some training. The project they want to start with is huge! The software we use to make the flight plans says it will be over 100,000 images, and the final image will be 6780 gigapixels!

An iPhone 8 is 12 megapixel camera. The big boy Canon professional is a 50 megapixel camera. So if you lined a stack of 20 of them and had them aligned to cover a discrete area the 20 images together is one gigapixel. Do that another 6,770 times and you are done. Wow.

The have the software purchased. The camera manufacturer wants my business partner to go help train them to use it. I am glad I am not trying to choke that huge monster file through the system. Wow.
