Abstract
Currently, while the technology related to gigapixel image might not be well known to the general masses of people, leading edge enterprises like Google and BAE Systems are successively reporting for achieving the progress of gigapixel application and camera system. Even though conventional camera technology is limited to the class of megapixel image, we can obtain gigapixel image readily by means of robot panoramic head and image stitching technique. In this paper, we investigate the total process of creating gigapixel image which will be expected to make the chance of a multibillion dollar business in the industrial area related to vision technology and surveillance. From the experience of this research, we can also utilize the knowledge to devise and develop new types of gigapixel camera system such as AWARE camera of Duke University and ARGUS IS camera of BAE Systems. Meanwhile, we try to report very important issue realized from the process of creating gigapixel images, that is, visibility problem and how to correct.
