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``. .. image:: ../gifs/load.gif :align: center .. 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.
