[Bf-committers] GSoC 2016: Finish multi-camera reconstruction

[Thomas Beck]

Hi Matthias,

as we use the Blender camera tracker pretty often in our projects, we'll
follow this GSOC closely. One feature that we were really missing
(especially in long shots with many easily distinguishable tracking points)
is the possibility to automatically track our footage. It should work in a
similar fashion as "throw in markers every frame automatically so you get a
good coverage, track those until they get lost, erase the obviously
erroneous markers, solve it". We talked with Keir at Bconf 2014 and he said
there is smth. was planned by Sergey and him. So maybe this could be a
(side-) project as well...

Best regards,
Thomas
