What I find funny, is that it is from a "knowledge for business" site and they have some bad english!
The picture description says:
"It was taken the top of the Electrical Engineering faculty of Delft University..." |

Wow, I thought this guy had the record:

I'd much rather look at his picture though. |

Many: military, civilian policing duties, public surveying, gaming (i.e., environments), scientific, urban growth monitoring... |
How 'bout Google's Key Hole service...? Their service might be able to take advantage of this technology: //www.keyhole.com/
Of course, they're using satellites.

Crossposting, since there are two similar threads at the same time: this one and the other World's first gigapixel image

The software used for the TNO TPD pic is Zoomify (which, apparently, has a free version). Among their links of featured sites using their software is Space Imaging, who currently has a pretty cool zoomable picture of Falluja from satelite, plus some 9/11 before and after shots. |
