Gigapixel and Panoramic
Gigapixel imaging
A gigapixel image is an ultra-high digital picture composed of at least one billion pixels, which is 1000 times the information captured by a one-megapixel camera. A square image of 31,623 pixels in width and height is one gigapixel. Current technology for creating such images usually involves making digital image mosaics of many high-resolution digital photographs. An excellent example of a gigapixel image is Google Earth or Google Maps terrain images.
These images serve multiple purposes in cultural heritage applications, such as detailed artwork examination, surface detail, terrain, and archaeological documentation.

A shiviti is a meditative representation of a verse from Psalms. It is crowned at the top by the sacred name of God, followed by the rest of the passage set in the shape of the Temple lampstand. It is used in Kabbalah for contemplation of the Tetragrammaton. One type of shiviti is placed at the front of the synagogue, where it may also serve as a type of mizrah; another popular format, designed for personal use, fits inside a prayerbook.

Panoramic and 360 Photography
Panoramic photography uses specialized equipment or software to capture images with a horizontally elongated field of view. While there is no formal division between “wide angle” and “panoramic” photography, “wide-angle” typically refers to a type of lens but using this lens type does not necessarily make an image a panorama. An image showing a field of view approximating, or greater than, that of the human eye – about 160° by 75° – may be termed panoramic. This generally means it has an aspect ratio of 2:1 or larger, the image being at least twice as wide as it is high. The resulting images take the form of a wide strip. One may differentiate between panoramas termed cylindrical, where the field of view is limited vertically, and those termed equirectangular, which cover a field of view of up to 360 degrees horizontally and 180 degrees vertically.
