Structure from motion for the 3D Camera Tracker in effectcraft-track
(camtrack): long KLT feature tracks with re-detection, parallax keyframes,
two-view initialisation (normalised 8-point essential matrix in RANSAC or
planar homography decomposition), incremental resection + triangulation,
sparse Levenberg-Marquardt bundle adjustment with the Schur complement and
Huber loss, focal length search (Fixed / Variable Zoom / Specify Angle of
View), tripod pan solve, Auto Detect, ground plane / target / world mapping.
Synthetic-scene tests (path, focal, error, tripod, flat, rendered frames).

Library groundwork for mask tracking (MSK-3) and the Warp Stabilizer (TRK-2),
clean-room from published methods:
- track::klt: Shi-Tomasi corners, pyramidal Lucas-Kanade with forward-backward check
- track::fit: RANSAC + least-squares translation/scale/similarity/affine/homography
- track:😷 MaskTracker following the pixels inside a mask outline per frame
- track::stabilize: incremental clip analysis (serde WarpAnalysis), Gaussian path
smoothing (Matsushita 2006), No Motion, preserve scale, crop / auto-scale with
max-scale relaxation
- path::interp: Mask Interpolation correspondence (arc-length vertex insertion,
shape-context matching) and rigid/linear in-betweens
Engine commands, UI and the effect itself are not wired yet (stubs unchanged).

Tracker panel (Window > Tracker): Track Camera / Warp Stabilizer (disabled),
Track Motion / Stabilize Motion, Motion Source, Current Track, Track Type,
Position/Rotation/Scale, Motion Target with Edit Target..., Options...
(Motion Tracker Options dialog), Analyze (1 frame back, back, forward,
1 frame forward; stop while running) with progress, Reset and Apply (Apply
Dimensions dialog). Track point widgets in the viewer: feature and search
regions with corner handles, attach point crosshair and track path, all
draggable through track.setPoint (one undo step per drag). Automation ids for
every widget; headless UI test.
Tracker: featureless regions no longer drift (ties keep the prediction, only
confident matches predict motion). docs/agents.md: tracking example.

New L2 crate effectcraft-track: per-point feature/search region tracking with
pyramid normalized cross-correlation and Lucas-Kanade (similarity + gain/bias)
sub-pixel refinement, confidence, adapt/stop/extrapolate/continue actions,
RGB/luminance/saturation channels, blur/enhance pre-processing, and
homography/affine/similarity solves.
Project: Motion Trackers > Tracker n > Track Point n property tree
(GroupKind::Tracker with type, target and options). Engine: track.* commands
(new/motion/stabilize/property/select/setType/setTarget/options/setPoint/
analyze/stop/apply/reset/delete/status), background or blocking analysis
job with progress and cancel (one undo step), apply to Transform, Stabilize
and Corner Pin. Renderer::layer_source for the tracker's frames.
