"The Yosemite Extreme Panoramic Imaging Project began in summer 2007 as a
discussion between xRez Studio and Greg Stock, staff Geologist of Yosemite
National Park, about constructing a comprehensive, large scale gigapixel image
of the valley walls in high detail. The image would become a tool for Stock’s
research of rockfall behavior in the park, an ongoing hazard with the large
percentage of vertical faces present in the valley. By using gigapixel imagery
as an aid in re-photography, the project hopes to create a extremely detailed
snapshot in time of present-day geologic conditions, in order to assist future
analysis of rockfall activity."
