Camera tracking integration =========================== Commiting camera tracking integration gsoc project into trunk. This commit includes: - Bundled version of libmv library (with some changes against official repo, re-sync with libmv repo a bit later) - New datatype ID called MovieClip which is optimized to work with movie clips (both of movie files and image sequences) and doing camera/motion tracking operations. - New editor called Clip Editor which is currently used for motion/tracking stuff only, but which can be easily extended to work with masks too. This editor supports: * Loading movie files/image sequences * Build proxies with different size for loaded movie clip, also supports building undistorted proxies to increase speed of playback in undistorted mode. * Manual lens distortion mode calibration using grid and grease pencil * Supervised 2D tracking using two different algorithms KLT and SAD. * Basic algorithm for feature detection * Camera motion solving. scene orientation - New constraints to "link" scene objects with solved motions from clip: * Follow Track (make object follow 2D motion of track with given name or parent object to reconstructed 3D position of track) * Camera Solver to make camera moving in the same way as reconstructed camera This commit NOT includes changes from tomato branch: - New nodes (they'll be commited as separated patch) - Automatic image offset guessing for image input node and image editor (need to do more tests and gather more feedback) - Code cleanup in libmv-capi. It's not so critical cleanup, just increasing readability and understanadability of code. Better to make this chaneg when Keir will finish his current patch. More details about this project can be found on this page: http://wiki.blender.org/index.php/User:Nazg-gul/GSoC-2011 Further development of small features would be done in trunk, bigger/experimental features would first be implemented in tomato branch.

LDL Version 2.0: a sparse LDL' factorization and solve package.
Written in C, with both a C and MATLAB mexFunction interface.
These routines are not terrifically fast (they do not use dense matrix kernels),
but the code is very short and concise. The purpose is to illustrate the
algorithms in a very concise and readable manner, primarily for educational
purposes. Although the code is very concise, this package is slightly faster
than the built-in sparse Cholesky factorization in MATLAB 6.5 (chol), when
using the same input permutation.
Requires UFconfig, in the ../UFconfig directory relative to this directory.
Quick start (Unix, or Windows with Cygwin):
To compile, test, and install LDL, you may wish to first obtain a copy of
AMD v2.0 from http://www.cise.ufl.edu/research/sparse, and place it in the
../AMD directory, relative to this directory. Next, type "make", which
will compile the LDL library and three demo main programs (one of which
requires AMD). It will also compile the LDL MATLAB mexFunction (if you
have MATLAB). Typing "make clean" will remove non-essential files.
AMD v2.0 or later is required. Its use is optional.
Quick start (for MATLAB users);
To compile, test, and install the LDL mexFunctions (ldlsparse and
ldlsymbol), start MATLAB in this directory and type ldl_install.
This works on any system supported by MATLAB.
