Of course, you also have to figure lens distortions into that. The actual transparent material that a lens is made from will have imperfections that add some blurring to the image as well, which will limit the effective resolution, even if the sensor could theoretically detect more detail. This is even more of a limitation for the tiny lenses used in cell phone cameras and probably most "$200 cameras", where any small imperfection in the glass will tend to create larger distortions in the resulting image that could make a terapixel sensor useless. And even if the camera utilized some future-material that created a perfect lens where the effect of light passing through it could be determined with complete precision, you may also encounter unpredictable light distortions through the air itself at that distance.#1: In some very distant future, when terapixel cameras are in your pocket, you might probably read what written on your bottle from 200 feet. Again - it's physics, not software.
Humankind knows very little about what the universe actually is, so anything outside the limited scope of what science currently views as "facts" about the universe could be thought of as "magic".Magic does not exist in this galaxy.
There is a "simple" way of looking back in time. Use faster than light travel. Wormhole to a location say 100 light years away from Earth. Then train a telescope on Earth. You will see it as it was 100 years ago, from your perspective. Boom, time travel. Kinda.Perhaps the past remains frozen in the crystaline expanse of time, and it might be possible to view any prior place and time using a specialized device. And perhaps an ordinary image from a camera could be used to search for that particular point in time, allowing the scene to be viewed in infinite detail from any angle. That's probably a bit more than just a software problem though. : )
Indeed, as stated by Clarke's Laws:Humankind knows very little about what the universe actually is, so anything outside the limited scope of what science currently views as "facts" about the universe could be thought of as "magic".
I see that, now I want to take that picture, put it into a program, and keep zooming and zooming. I want to be able to zoom in and zoom in until my little heart is content. I want to be able to take a photo of the bottle from 1000 feet away with just my phone, and zoom, and keep zooming in, and keep zooming in with no blur, and be able to see EVERYTHING that's actually there without blur/pixilation. Then I will be content, and my life will be half complete. Now I jst need the other thing... with the moving of objects... lolWhen you are done with your experiment, send me that bottle so I can do my own testing on it, in the interests of science. And a bottle opener with it please![]()
But this is impossible as those parts of the picture are simply too small for any camers to pick up on today.I see that, now I want to take that picture, put it into a program, and keep zooming and zooming.

There is more chance of a 1972 Ferrari 308GTB spontaneously appearing in my driveway before your phone camera can do that.I see that, now I want to take that picture, put it into a program, and keep zooming and zooming.

Yes, I know my phone can't do that. That's why I want someone to write a program that zooms in that image and shows everything that's actually there without blur or pixelationThere is more chance of a 1972 Ferrari 308GTB spontaneously appearing in my driveway before your phone camera can do that.
Literally, physics gets in the way of your dream.

only 5 grand? Why havent you bought it yet?To put a finer point on this (not that it is needed), consider the following 4 images:
Fuji X-T1, 35mm f/1.4
At 120 feet:
![]()
At 8" (minimum focal distance for that lens)
Notice the field of view.
![]()
At 3", with a MCEX-16 macro tube (again, min focus distance)
Again, field of view.
![]()
Cropped in with Adobe Lightroom
Here we can see the grain in the paper:
![]()
In the first pic, the data (pixels) for the spokes literally do not exist.
In the other 3, the data for the table upon which it rests literally does not exist.
Can't extrapolate what does not exist.
Now...if I were to buy this lens, we could get a bit better. Probably see the spokes from 120 feet.
But NOT with that wide field of view.

Because that is most of the price of a new (used) car I'm considering...lolonly 5 grand? Why havent you bought it yet?
jk
A '99 SHO is newer than my current daily driver, sooo....Hmm, I could buy a nice car for $5k
Yes.This thread is going nowhere, as it can't. The shark has been jumped. The dead horse beaten. And, the OP shall not find his dream software in this reality.
Ready for closure?
