Very cool! Have y'all considered uploading the entirety of the original footage to Youtube?

This is cool!

I love image processing/compression stuff, but I think I might be missing the point of this 'slitscan' approach - doesn't really seem to produce any kind of visually interesting effect.

I zoomed in full of anticipation but was disappointed to find it just looks like kind of.. noisy garbage. Am I missing something important here?

I don't think most people would want to download 200 gig of video just to get a glimpse of this.

Beautiful. Can you go into more detail about your recording setup?

Well, the rail line runs through Siberia which is almost all wilderness. If you zoom in a lot, what was once noisy garbage starts to look like forest and grass.

why not? I've got a spare monitor to run as a realtime Trans-Siberian window view ;)

It is one massive "panorama" of the entire trip. Processing them to look clean is tricky though/requires additional sensors.
