- Changed some names so now people who aren't really familiar with
motion tracking can understand what they exactly means
- Also cleaned up and rephraded some descriptions
- Changed behavior of operator which creates empty for 2d tracks:
now it operates on all selected tracks rather than active track only
- Added checkbox to enable/disable rotation stabilization
- Move tracking-related constraints to own section in list
Currently there are only two constraints, so can look a bit odd,
but it'll be other constraints like "Object Solver" and so.
- Move motion-tracking parameters from 3D viewport Display panel
to it's own panel.
- Get rid of "Bundle" in 3d viewport. It's quite obvious that it's
a 3D representation of tracks is used in 3D viewport and it shouldn't
be so confusing for artists now.
- Also get rid of "Bundle" in Follow Track constraint.
Old files can change a bit because of changes in DNA.
- Also get rid of "Bundles" in operator which creates vertices cloud
from 3D position of tracks.
- Rename "Principal Point" to "Optical Center" in the interface.
===========================
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.

Further development of small features would be done in trunk, bigger/experimental
features would first be implemented in tomato branch.
