This is cool!
I love image processing/compression stuff, but I think I might be missing the point of this 'slitscan' approach - doesn't really seem to produce any kind of visually interesting effect.
I zoomed in full of anticipation but was disappointed to find it just looks like kind of.. noisy garbage. Am I missing something important here?
- xlm1717 11y agoWell, the rail line runs through Siberia which is almost all wilderness. If you zoom in a lot, what was once noisy garbage starts to look like forest and grass.
- detaro 11y agoIt is one massive "panorama" of the entire trip. Processing them to look clean is tricky though/requires additional sensors.
- coldtea 11y agoMaybe you didn't zoom long enough? In the zoom level that you're expected to go, it looks like a series of thousands of photos, each of a point in the trip, taken with a cheap camera (with some noise, but not particularly distorted and far from "garbage"). You should be able to see the railway going on, places, stops, etc.
