[BCMA] Scanning of a Large Map

[Moderated BCMA subscriber listserv.]

One of the possible ways of reproducing the fragile map to a banner is with
photography. This could be done in stages rather than all at once.

The software that exists to automatically 'stitch' photography together is
amazing. It would just be a matter of lots of photos and of 'stitching.' In
the past I used Autopano Giga for a combination of over 39 photos to create
photo walls that have been over 3 by 2 meters.

Feel free to contact me for more advice on photo stitching. Also here is an
article that talks about the various softwares that are out there.

Google photos.
