2001/Dr Who Style Slitscan

Does anyone know of an algorithm to do something like this digitally? Anyone toyed around with it?

Wikipedia has a decent description of how it's done...

The difficult bit to do in software is simulating the zoom. If you have a row of pixel values, how do you interpolate it in to a larger row so it creates nice smooth light trails like the mechanical technique?

I'm assuming a raster source image... using vector art of some sort would be easier (and might be the way to go if the goal is just neat effects...).

I'm not sure I fully grasp the film technique.
but
One could fairly easily pull the values for a row of pixels into a seperate Pimage with dimensions 1x480 (or whatever you needed) and then play around with drawing that image to the canvass.

I have seen videos of people doing it with processing without changing the scale.

To get a 2001 like effect you might want to draw it in 3d.
just some ideas.
