Holmenkollen 1 000 Giga Pixel 360°

Holmenkollen 1000 Gigapixel 360° is a world record breaking, monumental and inspiring visual creation that captures an extensive panorama of beautiful Oslo, Norway. Captured from one of the most breathtaking panorama locations in Norway. It is characterized by its extraordinary size, resolution, and level of detail, pushing the boundaries of technology and optical resolution.

Strategic branding opportunity

The panoramic image provides an engaging, immersive experience that invites people to explore, share, and interact with the brand. This kind of engagement often leads to stronger emotional connections with the audience, fostering greater brand loyalty and advocacy.

We offer customized sponsorship packages tailored to meet the specific needs and objectives of each sponsoring company.

Current world record

Current world record is held by Centre for Content Creation under Limkokwing University of Creative Technology. Their breathtaking PanaXity Kuala Lumpur image is 846 gigapixel big. The image was created by a 17-person crew over months of preperation, seven days of shooting followed by 3 months of post production. If you see the night image, click on the moon to see high-res day image. Click here for their making of video. The goal of Holmenkollen360 is to break the 1 000 gigapixel size, but the final image may even be much bigger.

Technique

The heart of upscaling images lies in an algorithm called sub-pixel alignment, which aligns several nearly identical images on top of each other and attempts to restore the resolution lost when using only one picture. This is similar to Pixel Shift algorithms used in several cameras today. However, the problem with pixel shift algorithms is that the camera sensor is moved by a fraction of a pixel. This requires the camera not to move at all between shots. This method is ineffective with long focal lenses in windy environments, where the image through the lens moves by tens of pixels in every direction, even if the sensor remains stationary. Moving the sensor, in such conditions, by fractions of pixels is meaningless.

Movement by tens of pixels in sub-pixel alignment poses no problem. Sub-pixel alignment is applied after rough alignment, rotation, and cropping of the images. Unpredictable movement in every direction is welcomed. Good results can even be achieved with an 800mm handheld lens. My tests have shown that about 20 images are sufficient to increase the resolution and enhance the image quality.

This method is not new and has been proven to work by many others over the last decades. Sub-pixel alignment is performed by self-made CUDA software, optimized for speed and quality, which aligns and scales up 20 images in about 15 seconds. The software is running on fast computer utilizing dual RTX 4090 GPUs.

Does sub-pixel alignment work?
