Answer
The quality of the camera used to capture the images influences the resolution. A camera with 3.0 megapixels will produce lower quality than a 6.0 megapixel camera.
The distance from which the image was taken affects clarity. For example, large scale images are clearer and provide more detail than smaller scale ones.
