Free 3D tracker for non-commercial use

The University of Manchester has released their 3D tracker ICARUS as freeware for non-commercial use.

"ICARUS is a suite of software packages designed to enable the calibration of image and video sequences, and the reconstruction of geometric models of real scenes from those sequences."

The ICARUS feature set comprises:

� Lens Distortion Removal
� Image and Video Sequence Calibration
� Free-movement and pan/tilt/zoom camera motions supported
� Automatic and semi-automatic feature tracking
� 2D and 3D tracking export
� Calibration data export to Newtek's Lightwave 6.0+
� Garbage matte support, including keyframing and automatic tracking
� Automatic mosaic generation and motion segmentation to remove moving objects from panning sequences
� Video sequence stabilization
� Geometry Reconstruction:
Once image or video data has been calibrated, interactive techniques are used to reconstruct geometric models of environments. Surface textures may also be extracted from the image data, and models may be saved in VRML97 and Lightwave LWO2 formats.
