SIGGRAPH: VICON PREVIEWS UPDATED MATCHMOVING SOFTWARE

Boujou 5 is enhanced with manual tools that provide a new way of solving 3D camera positioning and motion paths from image sequences. The new approach will accelerate the solving process and allow users more manual interaction within complex shots.

The upgraded version looks at a single frame, rather than the entire sequence, enabling the user to intervene if necessary. A graph editor will let users manually tweak camera data and, if necessary, reprocess a shot. Boujou 5 will also provide the ability to lock valid sections of solved data or sections, which are known to be correct. In addition, reference frames taken with any camera can be imported and used to assist in a solve.
