Sankyo 1000 with a microscope lens and ELP camera

[Stan Jelavic]

Here is another small project of mine. Tested one of the microscope lenses with the Global Shutter ELP camera and the results are pretty good. No flicker and the colors are pretty decent. It is not top quality but I think it is OK for a cheap setup like this.

I am not into digital scan thinghy. I come here once a while. I have seen the test video, I am not sure if it is the print or the transfer rrsult but I see the picture is less sharp.

Secondly, is in digital technology nowadays has been available the software which can manipulate blurry image due to camera movement so fast (left to right v.v) which obviously with 18 fps at that time there was nothing could be done.

I am thinking of AI techology works as follows: when there is a steady image, AI manipulate it for hundreds frame to be used for moving left and right based on the actual scene in 8mm. When there is another steady image, AI gets new info to recreate another hundred images for the next movement.

Just my imagination. Any thought?

Good points. The steady picture is pretty sharp, will run the test film to check. This is just my first attempt so yes, the panning is blurry. The video is from the original scan just cropped and and flipped horizontally in Virtual Dub and then exported from avi to mp4. Checked it frame by frame and the blurred motion is to do with the exposure being too long and spanning two frames so it is continuously ghosting during panning. Will cut the exposure down and re-test.

As I said the image sharpness is pretty good. Here is the SMPTE test.


Getting a low flicker and low ghosting required some experimenting with the frame rate, exposure, and the projector speed.
Got pretty good results with the FPS set to 8, exposure to -3 and projector speed close to minimum.
Here is the test video.

Also updated the github site:

The app is the old windows 7 Amcap. Can post the source as well if anyone interested.
Compiles with Visual Studio...
