Afternoon all,

So, I'm doing a presentation next week for my Final year MEng project. We've been building an Multi-touch table and software. I want to show off the image scaling properties of the table and am looking for a high resolution image. In particular something that when zoomed in has quite a bit of detail, a map would be ideal I guess. Does anyone know of any such images available on-line?

The image will be displayed in C++ via OpenGL on a mid range (I forget which) core 2 duo with 2gb of RAM.

Edit: Preferably in jpeg format if possible.

Thanks in advance for any help.

define Hi Resolution..

Some people would say 12MP is high resolution, my sister would think 6MP is hi res..

Well, the screen on the table is 1024x768 and about 60cm x 40cm in size, I'm looking to effectively zoom in so the image would be several times larger than the table surface and still have good quality.
 
Not the best example of a gigapixel image But it's a start.

Its actually pretty hard to find them for download, most people use some plugins to build the image on the fly to save bandwidth. As a mutligigapixel ismage will be gigabytes in size, - which is something worth noting if your software cant render /access the data that fast.

I'm sure I had some cool images from NASA's JPL's site a while back.

I was just about to make this point. While the links posted have some great images on them. I think there a little too big. I need to be able to view the image without any sort of plugin/special viewer.
 
Well I just tried to use an Orion Nebular Image that is 18000x18000 and it crashed my program. I was running it on my netbook though and I haven't tested the program with any large images before. :(
