Les musées Gadagne proposent depuis peu de consulter 16 œuvres en gigapixels, parmi lesquelles plusieurs vues de Lyon (que je connais bien pour les avoir étudiées et vues sur place quand j'ai fait mes stages et travaillé au service des collections).

Gadagne rejoint donc la liste des musées français qui ont mis en ligne des œuvres en gigapixels.

[Nouveau billet] "Gigapixels : les œuvres d’art en ultra-haute définition", à découvrir sur le carnet Hypothèses "Numérique et recherche en histoire de l'art", de l'INHA : https://numrha.hypotheses.org/14647

Si vous voulez un peu de lecture sur les images patrimoniales pendant les fêtes, voici mon premier billet "Focus" approfondissant une partie du "Recueil de bonnes pratiques pour la diffusion en ligne des images patrimoniales", publié en novembre 2024 (chapitre 2, p. 20).

Il s'agit d'une synthèse sur les images en gigapixels, qui représentent la meilleure qualité d'image patrimoniale existante, avec leurs avantages et leurs limites.

The World’s Largest Resolution Camera Is Almost Ready For Deployment

The world's largest digital camera with a resolution of 3.2-gigapixels is being prepared for installation atop a Chilean mountain where it will scan the sky to help scientists gain knowledge about the Milky Way, dark matter, and other phenomena.

Work on the giant camera, named "The Legacy Survey of Space and Time" (LSST), has been underway for several years now; the team of researchers captured the first photo with it in 2020.

The camera is currently assembled at SLAC National Accelerator Laboratory in Menlo Park, California, and will eventually be installed in Vera C. Rubin Observatory in northern Chile, although the pandemic has added an additional delay to the roadmap of the project, Gizmodo reports.

Now that it has arrived at the Tucson instrumentation shop, the ComCam cryostat assembly (built by SLAC) will be integrated with the camera optics and parts of the telescope structure and tested under software control as it will be in Chile.

"The main deal is just get as much of the sky as quickly as possible and just do that repeatedly," says Steven Kahn, an astrophysicist and the director of the Vera C. Rubin Observatory. "The simplest thing it can do is just say, 'What's changed? How has it changed?' And we will do that up the wazoo."

At SLAC National Accelerator Laboratory, the LSST Camera team conducted a successful test in mid-October 2020, verifying the clearance between the filters and the shutter as the filter moves from its storage position to its online position. The amount of clearance is extremely small to meet the optical design distance between the filter and the L3 lens. Photo by T Lange/LSST Camera Project.

The camera's front end consists of three lenses and a filter that can be adjusted depending on the use case. Behind that is the camera's focal plane on which light from the telescope's mirror is cast. This focal plane is made up of 189 charge-coupled devices and all are cooled in a vacuum to almost -150 degrees Fahrenheit (-101 Celsius). Each of these devices can be seen as digital cameras in themselves as they capture mosaic images of the sky.

Once installed in Chile, the focal plane will point toward the ground to capture images of space where the light will bounce off one of the lower mirrors of the camera, up to the convex mirror, and back down to the final mirror before it reflects into the camera.

The powerful camera will allow scientists to look farther in the distance than ever before to learn more about the cosmos. It will image half of the southern sky every three days, contributing to a 10-year-long survey and give researchers a complete portrait of that region around once a week.

All of the images collected by the LSST will not only equip scientists with the ability to follow patterns and discoveries in the cosmos but they will also be released to the general public. The observatory has set to have systems ready for the first light in January 2023 with the full roadmap and regular project status updates available on the Vera C. Rubin Observatory website.
