      • Come explore southwest Pennsylvania!

        The Pittsburgh Gigapanorama was produced in conjunction with an on-going project being conducted by David Bear at The STUDIO for Creative Inquiry at Carnegie Mellon University.

        This 360-degree image taken from the from the roof of the U. S, Steel Tower in downtown Pittsburgh from 9 and 10 a.m. on Oct 19, 2009 is actually an assemblage of four separate Gigapans totaling 31.3 gigabytes (10.49 gigapixels) of information.

        What can you find in this Giga...

    I think I can help with the stitching problems. When attempting this panorama: http://www.flickr.com/photos/cokak/ 3666952672/sizes/o/in/photostream/ (without Gigapan) I started stitching in Photoshop only to have it come to a screaching halt time after time. When the processors maxed out the software simply stopped trying to do certain functions like Splice and Blend. (I got the same bands as you got here) I know mine was only just under 1gb, but it was still enough to choke the software. Then I started to splice three images at a time. Worked Great, but - failed after getting half way done when attempting left to right splicing of the s-image sections. Then I started from the center! Center Three Left of center three, right of center 3, etc. When I was done I had about 7 sections of 2 or three images each. Then I spliced Center Left and Right. Perfect. Then Center (now 9 images large) left and right. Then Center left and right again. Bottom line was that it wasn't so much the Size of the Image, but the multiple tasks combined with the size. When I worked on the 3-splice method there was never more than 2 splices happening at once!

    This rocks. Yet another reason Pittsburgh is someplace special. Makes me miss it, but this is a great way to feel closer to home!
