/kloc-0.2 billion pixel photo-details

Song Jiao, a photojournalist of Yangzi Evening News, believes that it is very possible to splice a super-large pixel panorama with multiple photos. Considering that the Great Hall of the People is unlikely to allow the erection of large-scale professional panoramic shooting equipment, it is more likely to speculate that this is made of puzzles. The method is to take a bunch of local photos on the carpet, and then put them together with later software. However, some requirements for the scene and the photographer are relatively static, and the photographer should take all the photos as soon as possible. Otherwise, the characters in the scene have moved two photos and the seams can't be put together. Of course, the edge of each photo will not exactly match the next photo.

Pan Jinsong, director of the photography department of the newspaper's visual center, told the reporter that this mega-pixel photo was not taken at once with such a magical machine as some netizens imagined. "In fact, it is made up of hundreds of photos by post-computer production." Director Pan said that it takes about three steps to complete such a photo: first, the collection of visual information, that is, the shooting of pictures, and then the processing through computer technology, splicing these photos; Finally, through the release of network technology, readers can zoom in and out at will, and the browsing experience is similar to Baidu map. Director Pan said that it takes dozens of hours to make a new photo from shooting to post-synthesis.

"This requires photographers to have good photography and computer skills at the same time." Director Pan said that this technology has been used abroad for a long time. For example, a reporter took this photo at Obama's inauguration ceremony. "There are photographers in the United States and Europe, but they have not formed a large scale in China and the technology is not very mature."
