I was just thinking, do they not have high speed global shutter cameras for this purpose?
Seems like the Olympic athletics would be one of the obvious applications of that kind of camera
It’s by design. They photograph only one slice repeatedly at the finish and then paste them all together. That means that everything you see here was at the same location, not at the same moment in time.
So, to clarify - the x-axis is time, not space? That's pretty cool.
Exactly, so on this photo you can see exactly who finished at what position, because it’s all taken at the finish line.
