| Pixel Farms PFMatch is a software application
designed to extract camera data from footage. This post production
method of gathering camera data requires no hardware camera
tracking and costs considerably less. 
The software analyzes the footage to determine areas of contrast
(shown above) to get focal length, position, and camera zoom.
This data is calibrated into a 3D environment (shown below)
then exported to Lightwave (or other 2D or 3D package) and
the virtual set is lined up with the aquired data, parented
to it, and then rendered at the output resolution.
