Select By Type (Tracker)

This phase modifies the set of trackers that are selected based on their type. It has several fundamental modes:

Only:Set Trackers of the specified type are selected, and all others are unselected

Also:Or Trackers must be of this type OR also already selected

Must be: And Trackers must be of this type AND already selected


The types that can be selected are All, Constrained, have a Distance constraint, Exported, Got Far, have a Link, with solved Motion-Capture paths, Pegged, have a Polarity constraint, Seed, Solved, Stereo, Supervised, Want Far, ZWT. If the Invert checkbox is checked, the condition is inverted, ie Pegged with Inverted are those trackers that are NOT pegged.

Multiple Select By Type phases can be used to do some fairly complicated things, ie an Only Not Want Far phase feeding into a Must be Got Far chain will wind up selecting only those trackers that you did not want to be far but that wound up being solved as Far (by being behind the camera). You might pipe a Only Solved into a Must be Not Got Far and then an Also ZWT to get the trackers that have produced valid 3D positions either by the main solve or as ZWTs.
