A unique image of US President Barack Obama’s inaugural address has been captured with the help of NASA’s technology which enables users to see highly detailed view of the function.
The special thing about the picture is that it allows one to see the complete view of the function besides enabling one to zoom in the image to such a detail that even the face of each and every spectator can be seen easily.
Photographer, David Bergman used the Gigapan camera system to generate this image.
The Gigapan camera system is a NASA spinoff technology also used in Mars exploration rovers and can capture thousands of digital images and weave them into a uniform high-resolution picture of more than a billion pixels.
The technology is based on the panoramic camera system that the Mars rovers Spirit and Opportunity is being used to explore the Red Planet for more than five years.
The Gigapan system was developed through a two-year collaboration between NASA and Carnegie Mellon University.
