Rating:  - Up and away
Nowing just as good as nothing about matchmoving it was immediately clear to me that this book would show me the way. And it did. For those who want to start in matchmoving or even for the medium advanced the autor explains everything you want to know and more. Theory, lots of practical examples and a nice CD. Worth it's money!
Rating: - Tracking Matching
Excellent book with a very easy exposition of photogrammetry an the newest applications it offers. Very good to understand what's behind camera tracking software in the postproduction market.
Rating: - Its the one
If you want to know about "black" art of matchmoving this would be the author and this would the book.
Rating:  - Great for the novice and experienced user.
Recently, I started doing matchmove work again, after a two year break. Before starting the new job, I wanted to brush up by reading this book. This is an excellent reference and I wish I had it when I started matchmoving four years ago. For the novice I can not recommend this book enough. For a manual, this book is easy to read and breaks down all aspects of matchmoving in just 250 pages. I did not go over the tutorials on the CD, I am just reviewing the written portion of the book.
Rating: - Great overall book
The book covers the general theory behind of matchmoving and photogrametry pretty clearly. There's step by step tutorials that guide you thru the matchmove process such as manual and auto tracking. I was a beginer and learned quiet a lot. I only wished he covered more on the interface of matchmover. Still a great book though.
