Summary
A technical article about using a line scan camera to capture high-speed images of trains and other subjects. The author explains the principle of operation, where the camera uses a single column (or two columns) of pixels to scan at very high speeds, and discusses the image processing workflow required to properly handle the captured data. The article includes examples of various trains photographed using this technique.
