Slit Scan artifacts

The slit-scan effect was done using Processing. The image captured distortions are result of human body movement in front of the camera.

Slit scanning is a process for transforming the frames of a video into a single image. Slit scans can produce a variety of interesting visual effects and, depending on the source, can often reveal interesting patterns in the source video.

This example works with a movie file or webcam to supply a continuous feed of images. For each image read from the movie file or camera, only one row of pixels is used (the rest are ignored). New slices are added to the right, while older slices shift to the left and are automatically deleted when they reach the edge of the screen.
