High-Speed Video Using a Dense Camera Array
karvind writes "Researchers at Stanford have demonstrated multi-thousand frame-per-second (fps) video using a dense array of cheap 30fps CMOS image sensors. A benefit of using a camera array to capture high speed video is that we can scale to higher speeds by simply adding more cameras. Even at extremely high frame rates, our array architecture supports continuous streaming to disk from all of the cameras. Now we know where to use 100TB tape drives and what to expect in the next sci-fi movie."
Nothing to see here.
Quite convenient for a story about a slashdotted camera.

If you are hard up for disk space for this, may I suggest emailing frames to this free email account
I know it's a hack, but whatever gets the job done, right??
Take the cheese to sickbay, the doctor should see it as soon as possible - B'Elanna Torres, "Learning Curve"
will be a 2 hour long film of a pin dropping.
How do they put all the footage together in the correct 'order', that is to say where each frame is in sequence.How can they be sure that none of the cameras capture the same instant of the action?
You know, there might be a reason why those people are at Stanford.

..ultra slow motion capture of a melting /.ed server. Hey I can see the individual /.ers GET / packets flowing through the fast ethernet port !
And now we know what the quality aware consumer as a minimum should expect from our beloved video producers:
No less than 1000 fps facials.
I downloaded their sample videos, but they keep playing really too slowly. I'm affraid their technology isn't quite ready yet ..
Instead of having a hawkwardly swinging background, why wouldn't they use a set of rotating mirrors to sequentially distribute the light to the different sensors from a single entry point ?
Duh! Because obviously it'd take some kind of super-genius to reconfigurize the franglehum reflectus so as to porta-pride the whoozimotron without disrupting the stratus field generator.

Consumers eh.. So the 100TB would fill up of 1000fps pr0n?
Store with salt
