@wtrmt This type of #slitscan is done as a post process. Converting a movie (x/y/time data) into a single image.

First I'm recording the footage. High frame rate (60 – 240 frames per second) and low or medium resolution (1280x720 or 1920x1080 pixel). Using a second hand iPhone 8 or a X100VI camera.

The effect is created using this open-source software. https://gitlab.com/metagrowing/slitscan It is very computationally intensive.

This 4 images were created from the same film. Only using different algorithms.

Brain Activity

March 2026 - A video (https://doi.org/10.1101/649822) of a brain MRI is slit-scanned with color dispersion and fed to the YOLO object recognition model. Activations in YOLO's 7th backbone layer are used to modulate alpha transparency and luminance in a 3D render of the slit-scanned video as a volume (of width x height x time). The accompanying music is made by injecting embeddings from the CLIP image description model running on the resulting video into the conditioning pathway of Facebook's MusicGen generative music model.

Holographic

Slit-scan video of people moving in Amsterdam Centraal railway station in August 2021, rendered as a volume, the transparency of pixels is determined by activations of a layer of the Ultralytics YOLO model run on the video. The music is generated by activations of a neural layer of OpenAI's CLIP image description model injected into Facebook's MusicGen generative model for 3 second chunks of this video.
