Nicely done! Thanks for sharing how to do the effect. There's a paper from some years ago that used motion analyzed footage from high frame rate cameras to extract audio from the video of resonating objects. Seems like this method might simplify DIYing that process. There's also software that amplifies motion to detect unwanted vibrations and loose connections in machinery. That would be really useful for home auto and appliance repair. This might get the job done for that purpose as is. Maybe you could sweep through camera shutter speed in the footage to detect particular vibration frequencies, doubling this method with a stroboscopic effect.

My mind immediately went to home surveilence/hunting cameras. For hunting, write a script to find a path of detected motion of a minimum pixel area (this limit perhaps modified by the Y position if the camera is observing a wide shot). Similar for home surveilence. Either of these could then trigger high intensity scrutiny via AI object detection. Another novel use would be with the chroma channel shifting he showed later... an augmented reality live feed from an external camera would be a very aesthetic way to have a security feed visible in a public space. ~PS: love your content

Videos like this will help so many people have a wider perception towards how not only is video the medium most art is made through but it can also show us details we can’t see ourselves

Math explanation! You have managed to calculate the approximate time derivative of your video in one efficient step! Your video is a signal f(t), adding the inverse to it gets you f(t) - f(t), then shifting the additional part gives you f(t) - f(t + dt) for a small time change dt. This expression is proportional to the first derivative in time, which corresponds to first-order change, i.e. things that have a "velocity" in the video. By changing the time shift, you are effectively looking at different scaling of the first derivative. Really great stuff.

Excellent! This reminds me of the "motion amplification" process, that is used to survey the mechanical vibrations. By changing the framerate of the recorded footage, the surveyor can tune in on the resonant frequency of the device/structure, and then the motion amplification visually amplifies the movement, usually completely imperceptible by a naked eye. This allows to see the wobble that will in time damage the components, or even whole buildings - and prevent that by highlighting the areas that need attention/fixing.

Desperately need the ending song as a single on Spotify

Awesome demonstration! That principle is used in most video coding algorithms and called DPCM (in interframe codecs). So only the moving parts of the image have to be encoded while the still parts are only encoded in certain intervals. Together with motion prediction it saves a ton of bandwidth at the cost of higher codec complexity and latency. H.246, MPEG4, HEVC or VP9 are just a few examples here.

@nickwallette6201

5 ай бұрын

When reading about how video codecs work, I had always wondered "but how do you track motion?" It seemed so complicated to analyze objects and track how they moved, vs. just new or even existing visual detail. And then I see this, and it gets 100x easier to see how it would be done. Which seems really obvious now, as inversion and summing are essential building blocks of audio manipulation (M/S, surround decoding, glitch removal, changes in phase -> EQ, etc.)

I can't believe I never thought to do this! Those black backgrounds on particles like pollen, bugs, rain, snow, ect. are perfect for compositing, it's insane to me that I never thought to do something like this to extract those particles. I do it the hard way and simulate them with CG!

the way you made an analogy between the visuals and the music at multiple points was impressive

Nice footage and showcase of a technique that's well known in the medical imaging industry since decades, where it's called optical flow and mainly used for image registration.

These modifications just reminds me that all is light and we are all just gods sparks.

Fantastic video! The technique you've shown for isolating the moving parts in a video has several practical applications, including in the field of video compression. In many compression algorithms, the focus is on capturing the differences between consecutive frames. This approach ensures that only the changing elements in each frame are stored, leading to more efficient data usage. What's particularly fascinating is the evolution of these algorithms. While early methods relied on basic difference extraction, modern algorithms employ sophisticated prediction techniques. These advanced methods not only identify changes but also predict them, leading to significantly more efficient compression. This evolution marks a remarkable progression in our ability to handle video data more effectively. Great work demonstrating this concept!

Essentially you can take 3 black and white photos with corresponding red, green, and blue filters and use each of the photos to stack into a single color image. The neat part is any movement between each of the frames will be highlighted by the filter color!

I'm really impressed that you keep finding these seemingly simple things and turn them into mindblowing experiences!

The RGB shift reminds me of the field sequential cameras used in the Apollo missions

This is super cool and reminds me of something I saw long ago that feels somewhat similar. Basically you would feed footage through a process wherein it would detect the tiniest deviation between pixels and exaggerate them. So, you would see someone breathing or perhaps someone’s heartbeat through their skin, etc (or maybe I’m making that one up). It was like a sort of motion magnification.

Your videos are always so calming and informative, you deserve recognition for your fantastic work It's insane, it could have interesting applications if a program could do this live: hunting, tracking, etc.. It reminds me of this one video about motion amplifying cameras

I’ve known about this for a long time through code with processing but you’ve done an amazing job of showing and extending its use- thanks for the great video. Beautiful examples ❤

This is actually amazing, an immediately jumps out to me as something that could be insanely practical for use in home security.

definitely the most beautiful 7 minutes I've ever spent on youtube

In addition to motion amplification software others have mentioned, these images you made are very similar to new type of camera that's being developed called "event cameras", "dynamic vision sensors", or "neuromorphic cameras". Their purpose is to only record motion by tracking the changes in the image (i.e. change in light for each pixel receives on the camera sensor). I think you've just replaced a lot of the usefulness of these new cameras being developed, although they can record at much higher frame rates. The processing methods you described could be applied easily by digital image signal processors in modern cameras today to make near real-time video recordings for people only interested in extracting motion information. There are many many applications for event motion extraction. If this method you show in your video hasn't formally been described before, I think it's worthy of a scientific paper.

That's super cool!! Funny enough the same idea is used in some radars to reduce clutter, called "Moving Target Indication." MIT Lincoln Laboratory has some slides online (from 2001, search "MTI and Pulse Doppler Processing"), where they go into some more clutter rejection techniques. One that'd be super interesting to try is the three-pulse (or maybe frame, in this case) canceller. If the idea behind this two-frame technique can be summed up by Frame(0)-Frame(-1), then the three-frame canceller would be Frame(0)-2*Frame(-1)+Frame(-2). The more I think about this, the more I realize that this is absolutely just digital filtering, and I love it and want to try it!!

I wonder if there is a way to "cancel" camera motion somehow. Maybe by attaching an IMU to the camera (or using the built-in one on a phone), you could use a significantly more advanced algorithm to eliminate any motion that matches the direction of the IMU, leaving you with only external moving objects? It would be really complicated, but I imagine it would be incredibly useful for tons of applications. Imagine being able to put on a VR headset (which have amazing self-tracking capabilities), and being able to see everything that's moving around you.
