The Gigapxl Project, initiated late in the year 2000 under the impetus of retired physicist Graham Flint, is a large-format photography application of state-of-the-art ultrahigh-resolution technology, developed around a specialized camera and process. The result is a 9 x 18 inch negative which is enlarged to a 96 x 192 inch, four-gigapixel (4,000 megapixel) resolution, four-panel assembly.

As an application, the team has been working to build an ultrahigh-resolution mosaic of landscape photography they call Portrait of America.

In August 2007, Google began incorporating Gigapxl photographic information into Google Earth.[1]
