Remember that 600MB satelite image of the earth? I finally got it.

gimme

Does anybody have a link to the reduced version? Or can you at least give us an idea of what the zoom capabilities of this image is? I know there was a ~15-20MB satellite picture of the WTC rubble that was visually amazing in terms of the detail.

This will be nothing in comparison.

The WTC area is miniscule compared to the surface of the earth.

As posted above, it will be roughly 4 pixels per square mile. In other words one pixel is an area equal to 1,742,400 ft².

I realize you couldn't zoom to city block level. Still, I'm assuming you could get some pretty good views of cities and their relative size/densities. Not to mention all the cool natural formations like the Grand Canyon, the Himalayas, etc.

Somebody send me the CD!


When you get it of course...

In case. Email: jittles00@hotmail.com

Well...

According to Here, Portland, OR has a land area of 130 mi². If four pixels is equal to a square mile, & we can assume the city to be circular (I know it's not), we could write:

520 = (pi)r²

Or, the radius of the circle would be:

sqrt(520*Pi)

That is approximately equal to 40 pixels. So Portland would be a 40 pixel wide circle.

Grand Canyon National park, at 1,904 mi² would be a 155 pixel wide circle.

Obviously I'm over-simplifying things by condensing area into circular regions, but I think some of you are going to be sorely disappointed.

hmm....we need this image!

 

[Mucman]

Let me know when I can get it... I will put it on my home FTP as well.

 

[Lucky]

should get some nice detailed zoomed out images tho. I agree with viper for the most part.

Anyone using WinMX???

Damn... you guys really want this thing, don't you. I'll start sending it out on sunday afternoon.

Also - don't expect it to get any smaller without switching to a lossy compression format (like jpg) the tif is already compressed with tif's LZW lossless compression.

 

[areohbe]

i think i just want it now because everyone else wants it

ME TOO ME TOO ME TOO!

I think what we need to do it once you get the file post it anywhere you have the ability to share it. Kazaa, Gnutella, FTP, Web, whatever you can. But it should all be the same name so we know.

What program was this made in? Our Geospatial Department does this kinda stuff all the time. They made a 600MB file of Grand Island NY. The resolution is like down to 3' or Inches Not sure.

I guess i'll throw my name into the mix. I can help distribute it over morpheus once i get back to school on sunday.

 

[Miramonti]

I always wanted a lifesize photo of the earth.

 

[Valhalla1]

actaully its "una buena idea", or "una idea buena"

 

[Rakkis]

I can host it on a University line for a few days

 

[deftron]

Anyone who has it

Use winRAR to split it into 15MB files

And post (upload) it to

alt.binaries.images

on USENET

That way..we all can get it without
killing anyones bandwidth

<< actaully its "una buena idea", or "una idea buena" >>


If you look 50 posts up, you will see that i had already realized this..

 

[cressida]

where at?

 

[hergehen]

should be pretty cool picture ...

can help distribute only with ftp also on univer line

thx

 

[Relayer]

me want too!'
