Converting Automatic Trackers to Supervised Trackers
Suppose you want to take an automatically-generated tracker and modify it by hand. You may wish to improve it: perhaps to extend it earlier or later in the shot, or to patch up a few frames where it gets off track.
From the Tracking Control Panel select the automatically-generated tracker(s) you want to work on, and unlock them. This converts them to supervised trackers and sets up a default search region for them.
You can also use the To Golden button on the Feature Control Panel to turn selected trackers from automatic to supervised without unlocking them (and without setting up a search region).
Sometimes, you may wish to convert a number of automatic trackers to supervised, possibly add some additional trackers, and then get rid of all the other automatically-generated trackers, leaving you with a well-controlled group of supervised trackers. The Delete Leaden button on the Feature Control Panel will delete all trackers that have not been converted to golden.
You can also use the Combine trackers item on the Track Menu to combine a supervised tracker with an automatically-generated one, if they are tracking the same feature.
The Track/Fine-tune Trackers menu item re-tracks supervised trackers, to improve accuracy on some imagery.
