Load Media

The first step is to load the media to be tracked. This is typically a video file or image stack. This can be accomplished on the Input tab by:

  1. Select the type of media (video, images, etc.)
  2. Browse to the file(s)

The media should now be opened with the first frame displayed.

The current implementation does not provide a mechanism to convert the pixels/frame to m/s. Therefore all positions are in pixels and all velocities are in pixels/frame.

Note

A synthetic data generator is included and can be used by selected “synthetic” in the Input Type drop-down list. This is useful when testing algorithms. For more information, see Synthetic Data Generator.
