The user can define a plane for the computer to follow, and if tracked successfully, the movement of the ‘tracked’ object can be used to drive the motion of newly composited elements, or inversely to stabilize footage within a frame. It seeks out different ‘planes’, isolating surfaces that can be followed through a shot. “Planar Tracking” gains its name from how the system analyzes the source video. They founded Imagineer Systems in 2000 to provide commercial applications for this technology. Planar tracking was developed by Allan Jaenicke and Philip McLauchlan in the University of Surrey. This allows the tracker to stay on track even if your shot contains motion blur or a very shallow depth of field. A planar tracker uses planes and textures to track as opposed to points or groups of pixels.
