error display also interactively updates as you
nudge tracker gizmos in Live Camera Match
mode, showing the current maximum match
distance for the camera; see Movie Stepper Rollout
(page 2–676).
Note that this error might b e exag gerated when
you employ match point weighting, as this tends to
distribute the errors toward the nonweight points.
Show ErrorsOpens a text window containing a
list of the maximum errors for each of the m atched
frames, s o you can look over the w hole set of
match frames and ident ify which frames to check.

Because the match-move algorithm is not
always exact and is highly susceptible to field
measurement error or feature tracking errors, and
becausethematchforeachframeiscomputed
independently, the results can be "noisy",
particularly if field of view is estimated. In
match-move situations where the real camera
performs smo oth moves, it m ight be useful to filter
the match results to eliminate this noise.
You use the Mov e Smoothing rollout to control
and perform these s moothing operations after a
match has been created.
