Rapid Processing of Gigapixel Images

University of Utah computer scientists developed software that quickly edits "extreme resolution imagery" — huge photographs containing billions to hundreds of billions of pixels or dot-like picture elements.

Until now, it took hours to process these "gigapixel" images. The new software needs only seconds to produce preview images useful to doctors, intelligence analysts, photographers, artists, engineers and others.
