- 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

This patch adds the individual invert options for the turntable mode too. In turntable mode there are only the rotate and roll and no tilt axis to invert.
if a value other than 1/0 was given it would use an uninitialized pointer too (compiler warning, review should pick up this stuff).
also renamed some RNA attrs:
output_name --> output_name_a
output_name2 --> output_name_b
do_output1 --> use_output_a
do_output2 --> use_output_b
do_smudge --> use_smudge
max_velocity --> velocity_max
- 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.
- Add support for refining the camera's intrinsic parameters
during a solve. Currently, refining supports only the following
combinations of intrinsic parameters:
f
f, cx, cy
f, cx, cy, k1, k2
f, k1
f, k1, k2
This is not the same as autocalibration, since the user must
still make a reasonable initial guess about the focal length and
other parameters, whereas true autocalibration would eliminate
the need for the user specify intrinsic parameters at all.
However, the solver works well with only rough guesses for the
focal length, so perhaps full autocalibation is not that
important.
Adding support for the last two combinations, (f, k1) and (f,
k1, k2) required changes to the library libmv depends on for
bundle adjustment, SSBA. These changes should get ported
upstream not just to libmv but to SSBA as well.
- Improved the region of convergence for bundle adjustment by
increasing the number of Levenberg-Marquardt iterations from 50
to 500. This way, the solver is able to crawl out of the bad
local minima it gets stuck in when changing from, for example,
bundling k1 and k2 to just k1 and resetting k2 to 0.
- Add several new region tracker implementations. A region tracker
is a libmv concept, which refers to tracking a template image
pattern through frames. The impact to end users is that tracking
should "just work better". I am reserving a more detailed
writeup, and maybe a paper, for later.
- Other libmv tweaks, such as detecting that a tracker is headed
outside of the image bounds.
This includes several changes made directly to the libmv extern
code rather expecting to get those changes through normal libmv
channels, because I, the libmv BDFL, decided it was faster to work
on libmv directly in Blender, then later reverse-port the libmv
changes from Blender back into libmv trunk. The interesting part
is that I added a full Levenberg-Marquardt loop to the region
tracking code, which should lead to a more stable solutions. I
also added a hacky implementation of "Efficient Second-Order
Minimization" for tracking, which works nicely. A more detailed
quantitative evaluation will follow.
Original patch by Keir, cleaned a bit by myself.
* Changed the user interface for the Ocean modifier, to use less space and look better.
* Changed rna name cachepath to filepath for consistency (fluid cache path also uses "filepath")

Additional changes:
* source/blender/makesrna/intern/rna_linestyle.c: Fixed white
space issues that generated a number of compiler errors. The
problem was that two string literals for enumerating MA_RAMP_SOFT
and MA_RAMP_LINEAR contained a space. The string literals are
supposed to represent a valid C identifier because of their use
for automatic code generation.
* Stroke transparency has been temporarily disabled due to a
functionality conflict with some merged changes. A fix of this
issue is planned.
that produces a blueprint using circular, elliptic, and square contour strokes.
Related changes and bug fixes were made as follows:
* The randomness in radius and center has been transformed into optional
parameters of the pyBluePrintCirclesShader and pyBluePrintEllipsesShader.
Also a new optional parameter to control the randomness of backbone
stretching has been added to the pyBluePrintSquaresShader.
* A bug in the pyBluePrintSquaresShader that invisible stroke vertices at
corners of rectangular contour strokes were not properly drawn. The problem
was due to the changes of the / operator between Python 2.x to 3.x. Even
when the two operands of the division operator are integers, Python 3.x
gives a floating-point number when the quotient is not an integer. The fix
was just to replace the / operator by the // operator for integer division.
* An unpleasant discontinuity in circular and elliptical contour strokes
was fixed.
* The length parameter of the Backbone Stretcher geometry modifier has been
renamed to `backbone_length' in line with the parameter of the same name in
the pyBluePrintSquaresShader.
* Renamed "Sharp" proximity falloff to "Constant".
* Added a new "Negate Volume" option for "Volume + Proximity" brush.
* Possible fix for random particle clipping errors.
* Code cleanup, changed some splits to row's, much nicer when you only use 2 properties in a row.
* if > elif
* Removed some duplicated code for an if/elif/else check
Did some minor separator() changes too.
to enable from python:
bl_options = {'REGISTER', 'UNDO', 'PRESET'}
from C:
ot->flag= OPTYPE_REGISTER|OPTYPE_UNDO|OPTYPE_PRESET;
- added context member 'active_operator'
- enable this for 'Add Torus' for testing.
* Expose 3D view camera zoom and offset, needed if you want to precisely
reconstruct camera parameters.
* Rename SpaceFileBrowser.operator to active_operator, to avoid conflict
with c++ keyword.
- Lock to selection and center to selection will now work fine with undistorted rendering
- Do not display pyramid for disabled tracks
- Corrected fix for wrong correlation_min property name
===========================
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.
This means that you don't need to have the view panel open all the
time, reducing the amount of scrolling required just to be able to
precisely position the 3D cursor at specific coordinates while
changing some other settings. While most of the settings in the View
panel are less likely to be frequently changed, the 3D cursor can in
some workflows end up needing to be accessed quite frequently.
incompatible, and unmaintainable Time Offset cruft.
- Slow Parenting lives another day (just), although it now carries
appropriate cautionary disclaimers. It's only really for the Game
Engine nowadays, as that's the only place where it can possibly work
with any reliability.
- "Animation Hacks" panel is now "Relations Extras". I could've merged
the two panels, though I figured these options weren't that frequently
used to justify taking up screen-space by default along with the panel
