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.

One of the first scripts I vibecoded did exactly this. It works well, but is limited by framerate when there's high motion.
The first attempt was with video, but she later switched to exactly that, a 19000 lines per second 2048 pixel line scan imager. It was augmented with 6dof acceleration/gyro sensor, gps, and microcontroller to get the data to a laptop.
I'm not sure that video would have been easier to postprocess. At what fps and shutter speed?
