Keir's comment:
Add support for detecting tracking failure in the ESM tracker component of
libmv. Since both KLT and Hybrid rely on ESM underneath, KLT and Hybrid now
have a minimum correlation setting to match. With this fix, track failures
should get detected quicker, with the issue that sometimes the tracker will
give up too easily. That is fixable by reducing the required correlation (in
the track properties).

Moved tweak threshold value to user preferences
This threshold might be needed to be tweaked when working with tables, i.e.
to prevent tap+slight movement be treated as tweak event.
Comment from Keir's commit:
Add a new hybrid region tracker for motion tracking to libmv, and
add it as an option (under "Hybrid") in the tracking settings. The
region tracker is a combination of brute force tracking for coarse
alignment, then refinement with the ESM/KLT algorithm already in
libmv that gives excellent subpixel precision (typically 1/50'th
of a pixel)
This also adds a new "brute force" region tracker which does a
brute force search through every pixel position in the destination
for the pattern in the first frame. It leverages SSE if available,
similar to the SAD tracker, to do this quickly. Currently it does
some unnecessary conversions to/from floating point that will get
fixed later.
The hybrid tracker glues the two trackers (brute & ESM) together
to get an overall better tracker. The algorithm is simple:
1. Track from frame 1 to frame 2 with the brute force tracker.
This tries every possible pixel position for the pattern from
frame 1 in frame 2. The position with the smallest
sum-of-absolute-differences is chosen. By definition, this
position is only accurate up to 1 pixel or so.
2. Using the result from 1, initialize a track with ESM. This does
a least-squares fit with subpixel precision.
3. If the ESM shift was more than 2 pixels, report failure.
4. If the ESM track shifted less than 2 pixels, then the track is
good and we're done. The rationale here is that if the
refinement stage shifts more than 1 pixel, then the brute force
result likely found some random position that's not a good fit.

Talked with Brecht and Campbell and they both agreed that bpy.types should match bpy.props
In the ideal world we would rename bpy.props to BooleanProperty. This would break scripts though. So we go for a compromise and at least have some consistency.
*** use-case:
"I have 10 reference images that overlap each other and every time I want to see one, I need to change the transparency of all the others.
therefore it would be nice to have a little button by each menu to allow enable/disabling individual background images"
To avoid subversioning bump I created a define that is negative (DISABLED) and of course a rna that is a boolean_negative.
Talked with Campbell and he actually prefers this way over do_version, so there it goes.
This commit implements:
- Configurable settings for newly creating tracks
Now it's possible to set tracking algorithm and it's settings for
all newly creating tracks including manual tracks creation and
tracks creation by "Detect Features" operator.
- Moves margin, frames limit and adjust frame inside per-track
settings.
Was request from Francois for this.
- Adjust Frames replaced with menu called Pattern Match where it's
possible to choose between matching pattern from keyframe frame
or from previously tracked frame.
Didn't see somebody used adjust frames values differ from 0 and 1,
and this menu should make things more clear here/
This operator does needed changes to
- 3D viewport
- Scene settings
- World settings
- Compositor
- Scene objects
in a way scene becomes ready to be composited into footage.
Known issue: preview doesn't work "out-of-box" after running this script,
selecting View node and hitting Tab helps. Not sure it can be solved
in nicer way at this moment.
by Gaia Clary.
Rationale: the name was confusing and not always used consistently, and this
map itself is not something that can be layered, rather the map can be used
as texture coordinates in some layered setup.
The original intent was to indicate this contained more than just UV's, but
the game engine settings have already been moved out, and apparently users
didn't really get this from the name anyway.
- UV's were not being calculated if there were too many VColor layers.
- precalc (omd->size * omd->spatial_size) was being called in a loop.
- use vector functions to avoid pointer indrections on each access which the compiler wont optimize - eg: och->ibufs_disp[f]->rect_float[4*(res_x*j + i) + 1]
- dont call abs() on ints (converts to double and back to int in this case).
also unrelated render buttons change. move saving options directly under the file path since these were easy to confuse with image format options like zbuf, ycc, preview.. etc.
