Computational Stroboscopic Photography
We brought innovative computational techniques to the art of stroboscopic photography. Golf players were able to turn their golf swing into a unique artwork that they could share on social media.
Players took a moment to step into IMG Live's specially constructed booth at The Open to record themselves taking a swing. Their artwork was generated and emailed within seconds and is available for them to see in person.
Standard stroboscopic photography is achieved with a long exposure time and repeated flashes. We used a high speed camera to stitch together a photo that looked completely new. Whereas conventional stroboscopic photography can capture a maximum of around 20 frames, we were able to create a composite of 100, tracking every position of the golf swing.
