Hunan – Misc Experiments

I’ve been playing around with a few things unrelated to the deliverables and at Golan’s request, will put the results here.

Slitscanning(ish) (slow motion)Video

Algorithm: for the i-th column of the video, take every i-th frame of the original video. (e.g. the right-most column is playing at c * 1024 FPS and the left-most column is playing at c FPS for some constant c.) Hold the last frame if a given column runs out of frames.

Digital NIR false color

The goal is to recreate the look of Aerochrome using a NIR digital camera.

Algorithm: take two photos of the same scene, one with IR high pass filter and a low pass filter. The first one with the low pass is a regular RGB photo and the high pass will give 1 NIR channel (effectively). Then use NIR channel for R, R for B, B for G in constructing a new image.
