Digital Imaging Technologies

Yes, Aggregate.Org does digital imaging! In fact, we're deeply involved in the University of Kentucky's Center for Visualization and Virtual Environments.

How we got into digital imaging is a long story, but it started with a need to create high-resolution images for our cluster supercomputer video walls... digital cameras and sufficient compute power now are so widely available that some of our once exotic technologies have become of more general interest.
