Digitize your films without losing resolution
Jan-Erik O. Kallhammer · 1991
The use of a high resolution linear camera film scanner to digitize cine film in order to automate motion analysis, is discussed. By using high quality optics, high precision mechanics and a 2592 linear array camera, a resolution of 6 micrometers (.25mu) at a rate of 1 .3 frames per second is achieved. The whole film is scanned, in order to collect timing and reference marks located anywhere on the film. Through the integration of the Film Scanner with an analysis computer, a fully automated motion analysis system has been realized.
