A gigapixel photo is a digital image composed of one billion pixels 1,000 times the information captured by a 1 megapixel digital camera.
Current technology for creating such very high-resolution images usually involves either making mosaics of a large number of high-resolution digital photographs or using a film negative as large as 18" × 9" (46 cm × 23 cm).
Only a few cameras are capable of creating a gigapixel image in a single sweep of a scene, such as the Pan-STARRS PS1 and the Gigapxl Camera.[1][2]
