Live looping time-lapse of USC's Tommy Cam

tomlapse

As of 2019-05-16, Tommy Cam is a live video feed, and the image endpoint has been removed.

tomlapse polls USC's Tommy Cam webcam image and assembles the result into a time-lapse video.

When run, tomlapse will regularly grab the latest image and save it in the working directory as e.g. 20060102T150405Z0700.jpg. When a new image is ready, the last 24 hours of footage is encoded as an H.264 MP4 video at 30 frames per second called tomlapse.mp4. tomlapse requires the FFmpeg command-line tool in order to create the video.

index.html plays tomlapse.mp4 in a loop, occasionally reloading the video.
