1. A system, comprising:
a processor;
a dynamic resolution adjuster configured to determine internal measurements of a tension of a film; and
a memory including instructions that when executed by the processor configure the system to:
scan the film with a line scanning camera;
receive, from a motor used to advance the film between a supply reel and a take-up reel, a plurality of rotational position measurements at a plurality of times while scanning the film;
generate a control signal for the motor based on an associated rotational position of the motor; and
in response to detecting an inconsistency in scanning the film:
calculate an offset factor for the associated rotational position of the motor based on (i) a measurement of the inconsistency and (ii) the plurality of rotational position measurements associated with a time at which the inconsistency was detected by the line scanning camera; and
adjust the associated rotational position of the motor via the control signal including the offset factor.
