GigaPan photos from Augusta National - 18th green and clubhouse

GigaPan is a collaborative project of the Carnegie Mellon Robotics Institute and NASA. To produce these images, a rotating robotic platform is attached to a digital camera that takes a series of photos, which are then stitched together with a unique software. SI's Fred Vuich used the technology to produce these photos from Augusta National.

Below, a view of the 18th (map), foreground, and 9th greens (map), and the clubhouse (behind the massive oak). Use the controls on the image to zoom in and out.
