This project contains a Python script for creating slit animations. Slit animations are a form of animation where multiple frames are encoded into a single image. A corresponding slit pattern is used to reveal individual frames from the encoded image when it is viewed through the pattern.
- Install dependencies: Run
pip install -r requirements.txt. - Setup: Place the image sequence you want to encode in a folder and specify its path as
input_directoryin the code. - Run: Execute the Python script.
- Results: The encoded image, along with the slit pattern, will be saved in
output_directory.
input_directory: The directory containing the image sequence to be encoded.output_directory: The directory where the encoded image and slit pattern will be saved.n_slits: The number of slits in the slit pattern.
- Floating Point Error: Due to limitations with integer division, the slit pattern may sometimes include a row/column with transparent pixels.
- Trailing Error: The last slit in the pattern may be slightly wider than the others, causing a visible error in the rendered canvas.
