gigapixel
Extreme image detail
A gigapixel is one billion pixels, used to describe extremely high-resolution images or the sensors that capture them.
A gigapixel photograph contains enough detail to zoom in on distant faces in a crowd shot or read small text across a stadium: The museum created a gigapixel image of the painting that reveals individual brushstrokes.
