The image is of Shanghai City and has been captured by Jingkun Technology, a world-class innovative enterprise that focuses on creative photography and cloud data processing. The 360-degree panoramic resolution of Shanghai was captured by the company from the Oriental Pearl Tower in China when Shanghai News Office invited it in 2015 to photograph the city.

According to the company’s official website, the image has a total accuracy of 195 billion pixels! Depicting the beauty of Shanghai, the viral image is the largest image in Asia and the third largest image in the world.

The project garnered a lot of attention all over the world and received 8.2 million visits in 1 year. The image is now used as a new “city card” to the world.

The large pixel panorama image is a collection of images that have been stitched together, and the company boasts that it is more than 2000 precise than a photo captured from a traditional camera. No satellite has been used for capturing this image. Instead, it is a product of high-resolution cameras and image stitching technology.

Coming back to the viral news published by many tabloids citing some superficial quantum satellite, we have dropped mails to rectify the published articles. We are yet to receive a response from them.
