This proposal attempts to improve usability of Blender's image stabilization
feature for real-world footage esp. with moving and panning camera. It builds
upon the feature tracking to get a measurement of 2D image movement.
- Use a weighted average of movement contributions (instead of a median).
- Allow for rotation compensation and zoom (image scale) compensation.
- Allow to pick a different set of tracks for translation and for
rotation/zoom.
- Treat translation / rotation / zoom contributions systematically in a
similar way.
- Improve handling of partial tracking data with gaps and varying
start / end points.
- Have a user definable anchor frame and interpolate / extrapolate data to
avoid jumping back to "neutral" position when no tracking data is available.
- Support for travelling and panning shots by including an //intended//
position/rotation/zoom ("target position"). The idea is for these parameters
to be //animated// by the user, in order to supply an smooth, intended
camera movement. This way, we can keep the image content roughly in frame
even when moving completely away from the initial view.
A known shortcoming is that the pivot point for rotation compensation is set to
the translation compensated image center. This can produce spurious rotation on
travelling shots, which needs to be compensated manually (by animating the
target rotation parameter). There are several possible ways to address that
problem, yet all of them are considered beyond the scope of this improvement
proposal for now.
Own modifications:
- Restrict line length, it's really handy for split-view editing
- In motion tracking we prefer fully human-readable comments, meaning we
don't use doxygen with it's weird markup and comments are supposed to
start with capital and end with a full stop,
- Add explicit comparison of pointer to NULL.

This commit changes a lot of how IDs are handled internally, especially the unlinking/freeing
processes. So far, this was very fuzy, to summarize cleanly deleting or replacing a datablock
was pretty much impossible, except for a few special cases.
Also, unlinking was handled by each datatype, in a rather messy and prone-to-errors way (quite
a few ID usages were missed or wrongly handled that way).
One of the main goal of id-remap branch was to cleanup this, and fatorize ID links handling
by using library_query utils to allow generic handling of those, which is now the case
(now, generic ID links handling is only "knwon" from readfile.c and library_query.c).
This commit also adds backends to allow live replacement and deletion of datablocks in Blender
(so-called 'remapping' process, where we replace all usages of a given ID pointer by a new one,
or NULL one in case of unlinking).
This will allow nice new features, like ability to easily reload or relocate libraries, real immediate
deletion of datablocks in blender, replacement of one datablock by another, etc.
Some of those are for next commits.
A word of warning: this commit is highly risky, because it affects potentially a lot in Blender core.
Though it was tested rather deeply, being totally impossible to check all possible ID usage cases,
it's likely there are some remaining issues and bugs in new code... Please report them! ;)

Quite trivial idea -- just pass tread ID to the texture sampling function.
Implemented as a TLS to avoid passing huge amount of extra contexts around.
Should be working on all platforms, but compilation test is required.

Avoid allocating the (tiny) array on the heap in the first place.

Based on an user feedback, previous implementation with providing
decoupled X and Y speeds didn't work in production at all: there
is no way to combine this speeds to an usable vector.
So now we're providing speed vector output instead, which provides
speed in an exactly the way Vector Blur node expects it to be:
first two components is a speed from the past, second two components
defines speed to the future.
Old behavior can be achieved by RGBA separating the speed output
and using first tow components.
Now this speed gives quite the same results as a speed pass, with
the only difference that track position speed uses "shutter" of
1 while pass uses shutter of 0.5 (and there's no way to affect on
that?).
Compositor tried to be too much smart and avoid unneeded re-calculations of
the distortion model, but the way it was implemented is by falling back to
the nearest interpolation first.
We can't really cheat here, better to just look into faster models estimation.
It is handy when doing some roto work and it's required to blur some
mask or overaly before alpha-overing it on top of the footage.
Quite straightforward option with the only limitation that variable
size blur is not supported.

velocity is measured in pixels per frame. It is basically a coordinate
difference of track coordinate at current frame and previous one (no future
prediction happens).
It's not really most intuitive place for such a things, but historically the
node was called this way..
Track velocity could be used to face effects like motion blur bu piping it
to the vector blur node.

It uses edge extrapolation code from Gimp's antialias plugin now,
which has advantage of giving symmetrical results, which makes it
possible to add two antialiased ID masks and have a constant 1.0
all over the frame. But has difference from the old implementation
because it uses 3x3 matrix only, which doesn't give so much smooth
looking edges. Perhaps it's not so bad, since if edges are really
need to be smooth one might use Blur node.
Another advantage is that the node is now nicely threaded.

Better support of bicubic sampling of ID mask output.
The idea is to generate ID mask into a temporary buffer which is then being
interpolated using current sampling method.
This works fine for upscaling or rotating the ID mask but does not work for
scaling down. This is much-much bigger problem of the compositor design and
can't really be solved currently. Same will happen with other nodes like
blur for example.

This appears to be really common workflow when you stabilize shot to make compo
easier (roto, some effects and so) and then re-introduce the motion back.
Surely it's doable with some magic nodes and manual network for transforming
but such workflow is too common in VFX to resist adding one small option in
single node for this.
This was introduced in the fix for T44336 .
The code is now what it should have been in the first place at the time
of multiview commit.
ImageUser->passtype is being removed in favour of bringing
ImageUser->pass back.

Basically filtering was happening twice, first time by applying weights of EWA
filter itself and then by applying subpixel offset while reading pixel values.
The issue was caused by the non-threaded texture API used by the node.
While the node itself is single threaded there might be texture nodes
in different execution groups running in parallel.
The code does stupid box filter which doesn't give nice results and doesn't
match old compositor at all. Need some better gaussian weighting here. Will
look into it later.
This commit fixes issues with wrong socket type being added to the Cycles debug
pass compositor operation, which lead to crashes with non-value pass types.
This commit also reverts socket renaming thing because while it's was behaving
ok on runtime file reload might have loose the links which is annoying.
Currently only works correct with single float output, RGBA and vector are not
supported so if one need to use this passes he'll need to wait a bit still.
It is coming, don't worry.
Quite straightforward implementation -- all the conversion magic is
happening in IMB_exr_write_channels() and remained changes are only
needed to pass information whether channels is to be converted to
half float or not.
Regular file output will use full-float for Z pass, which matches
behavior of the single layer EXR files. But when saving happens
with File Output node then all the passes are respecting half float
settings because it's not possible to distinguish whether we're
saving Z pass or not.

This will fix exporting of metadata and importing for imbufs, but image
editor will not display these metadata since multilayer gets converted
to renderresult, which does not support metadata display yet.
This commit is more meant for external image editors/viewers.
