Tracking moving object in static scene(1 still camera)?

[Morne]

Hi all

I have footage of a moving object shot from a static camera(camera NOT moving). I have limited software available - Autodesk MatchMover and also MAX built in Tracker. The Max one is junk. Matchmover needs 2 cameras to solve? Is that correct? Any way to get a solve with 1 camera and get the result into max with what I have or with some other free software? I already tried with MatchMover but can't seem to get a solve with 11 points on my object.

Regards,
Morne

Hi Morne,

I'm sorry to 'hijack' your thread, but I'm confused about private message delivering here. Don't know if you received my messages or not.

on topic - I have no experience tracking moving objects in static shots, but i tracked some moving camera shots. I think you can get the proper 2D solution out of one camera, but I doubt you will get a clean 3D solution...
2 cameras track sounds logical to me, because you can merge the solutions from different angles to get a 3D track.
