The Gigapxl Project is an application of ultra-high-resolution techniques to the field of large-format photography, that started in late 2000, under the impetus of retired physicist Graham Flint, .
Through a thorough analysis of all the factors involved by the steps leading from the light capture to the final printed image, it lead to the design and construction of a special camera, and associated procedures. They achieved a four-gigapixel (4,000 megapixel) resolution after scanning of the 9" x 18" negative, and enlarge it to a 96×192-inch four-panel assembly.
As an application of this technical framework to landscape photography, the team pursue a field work to assemble an ultra-high-resolution portrait of America, called Portrait of America.
