Line Scan Camera Image Processing

What is fun to think about is how to simulate Lorentz contraction [0] of lengths for a fast moving object. Might be a good tool to you with special relativity simulations.

Consider a train. If I estimate it's speed incorrectly the reconstructed image will either be contracted or stretched depending on the direction of error.
