- I'm curious as to the reasons why an image will pixellate
- when enlarged/zoomed-in-on. How can the government capture
- an image from space via satellite and be able to zoom in
- to clearly reveal people etc?...
- I guess the real question is: What factors limit how
- much an image can be enlarged without pixellation?
- Thanx.
