I've played with panorama mode and tried both of these (1 - panorama of moving train passing platform, 2 - panorama out window of a moving train)
...and both got the same weird artifacts, as it piled "similar" slices together then jumbled up "complex" slices.
But adjacent to both of those, when I read the title I thought of another IDEA that would be pretty cool.
put down one or two model railroad straightaways next to each other, but down locomotives, string a 3d-printer arm across them and "print" a model railroad diorama, then move the locomotives and repeat.
In other words, a flatbed 3d printer where one axis is the locomotives moving across your railroad layout. I think it could rejuvenate model railroads if you could print mountains, towns, streambeds, roads, etc...
It would have been pretty easy to use a horizontal line scanner to get image speed.
In any case, it seems that using a full frame video would be much easier to post process since frame to frame correlation tells you everything you need to know about motion.
Basically the inverse of https://daniel.lawrence.lu/photos/ or https://trains.jo-m.ch/ ;)

The former is in the prior art section at 2:24!
I love this so much! This is such a cool hack, just for the sake of it. Amazing hacking and amazing art!
In the preso, she has said the full size output is on the website-
can anyone see what that link is? I didn't find it on the video page, but I might've just missed it.

One of the first scripts I vibecoded did exactly this. It works well, but is limited by framerate when there's high motion.
I'm not sure that video would have been easier to postprocess. At what fps and shutter speed?
Using the camera as a scanner has a long history in satellite cameras and other aerial photography
they need to connect with the skunkworks team, they solved this problem on sr 71 long time back !
