Can you tell me all about ML and slit-scan images?

I created my own slit-scan software, but have since heard ML can do this.

Knowing nothing about ML or details of camera internal operation - how does ML do slit-scan - can ML change how info is obtained from the sensor? e.g. can slit (or frame) be read more than 50 FPS?

I use a canon 5D MkIII.

My program converts any .mov file (from any camera) to a slit-scan image with some controls on slit position, scanning etc.  The main limitation is the camera's FPS rate which I would dearly love to be much greater than 50FPS.

I don't really know how normal camera video mode works, but it seems that there is a non interlaced raster scan that takes 1/50 of a second (or 25 or 24), and each pixel must be exposed for some fraction of this time(?) as there is a lot of motion blur (can this be controlled?) on a frame of a moving image and a vertical moving horizontal line is sheared (becomes angled).

See www.slitcam.com where you can download and try the program - let me know what you think.



Thanks!
