Detection Modes Overview

Nx Nexus offers four intelligent detection modes, each optimized for different tracking scenarios.
Choose the mode that best matches your footage and creative intent.

Luminance Mode (Hybrid Detection)
Best for: General-purpose tracking, bright objects, high-contrast scenes

Luminance mode uses a sophisticated hybrid approach that combines brightness analysis with edge detection. The algorithm evaluates both the luminance values and edge strength to identify regions of interest. This dual-layer detection makes it exceptionally reliable for tracking well-lit subjects, light sources, reflections, and any objects with clear brightness contrast against their background. It’s the go-to mode for most tracking scenarios, offering robust performance across diverse lighting conditions.

Edges Mode (Contour Detection)
Best for: Defined shapes, silhouettes, architectural elements, motion graphics

Edges mode focuses exclusively on detecting strong contours and boundaries using advanced Sobel gradient analysis. This mode excels at tracking objects with well-defined shapes and clear outlines, regardless of their color or brightness. It’s particularly effective for architectural elements, graphic overlays, text, logos, and any subject where shape definition is more important than color or luminance. The algorithm ignores subtle gradients and focuses on sharp transitions, making it ideal for clean, geometric tracking.

Saturation Mode (Colorful Regions)
Best for: Vibrant colors, saturated objects, color-based isolation

Saturation mode detects regions based on color intensity and purity, automatically filtering out grayscale and dark areas. The algorithm analyzes color saturation while requiring a minimum brightness to ensure tracked colors are visible and vibrant. This mode is perfect for tracking colorful clothing, painted objects, neon signs, colored lights, or any saturated elements in your scene. It intelligently ignores desaturated and shadowed areas, focusing only on the most colorful regions.

Select Color Mode (Precision Color Tracking)
Best for: Specific color isolation, color-based keying workflows, targeted tracking

Select Color mode offers precision tracking of a specific color chosen via the color picker. Using advanced HSV color space analysis, the algorithm calculates color similarity with weighted emphasis on hue, saturation, and brightness. The threshold slider controls color tolerance—lower values require exact matches, while higher values accept a broader color range. This mode works in dimmer conditions compared to Saturation mode, making it ideal for tracking specific colored objects even in challenging lighting situations.

Pro Tip: Use the Debug Visualize Detection mode to see exactly what each detection mode is analyzing in your footage, helping you choose the optimal mode and fine-tune your threshold settings.

Features Overview

Four Cinematic Tracker Styles

Choose from four distinct visual styles, each inspired by iconic sci-fi interfaces:
Square Corners: Classic tactical brackets with adjustable corner length
Rounded Target: Circular segmented rings for a military HUD aesthetic
Circle Segments: Multi-ring targeting system inspired by Iron Man and Elysium
Hexagon Lock: Hexagonal frames with corner brackets

Customize every aspect—line thickness, segment gaps, colors, and opacity.

Advanced Connection System

Visualize relationships between tracked objects with intelligent connection lines.
Three connection types offer different visual approaches:
Sequential: Connect trackers in numerical order (1→2→3→4)
Star: Radiate all connections from the first tracker
Mesh: Create a network connecting every tracker to every other
Enhance connections with line styles and arrow styles.
Control curve strength, dash length, arrow size, and position for complete creative control.

Intelligent Multi-Object Tracking

Automatically detect objects using an adaptive grid-based detection system. The algorithm analyzes your footage in real-time, identifying regions of interest and creating stable tracking boxes that follow movement throughout your timeline. Adjust the Max Trackers slider to control how many objects are tracked, and fine-tune Grid Resolution for precision versus performance.

Dynamic Center Markers

Add precision markers to the center of each tracked object.
Choose from three marker styles (Dot, Plus, Cross) with independent color and size controls.
Perfect for highlighting exact tracking points or adding tactical crosshair elements to the trackers in your composition.

Smart Information Display

Overlay tracking data directly on your footage with customizable text labels.
Choose what information to display: Tracker ID numbers or X and Y coordinates
Text automatically repositions to stay on-screen,
ensuring readability even when tracking objects near frame edges.
Adjust text size, color, and opacity to integrate seamlessly with your footage.

Precision Detection Controls

Fine-tune detection sensitivity with comprehensive controls:
Threshold: Set minimum intensity for detection
Blob Size Scale: Adjust tracking box dimensions
Blob Sensitivity: Control minimum signal strength required
Grid Resolution: Balance precision and performance

Tracker Zoom Feature

Magnify content inside tracking boxes with the Tracker Zoom feature. Set zoom levels from 1x to 5x to create picture-in-picture effects or emphasize tracked details. The zoom respects tracker style boundaries—circular for rounded styles, rectangular for square corners—maintaining visual consistency.

Debug Visualization Tools

Enable Debug Mode to see exactly what the detection algorithm is analyzing. The visualization shows detected regions in color or grayscale based on your chosen detection mode. Overlay the detection grid to understand sampling patterns and optimize your settings for different footage types.

Perfect for:

  • Motion graphics and title sequences
  • Sports analysis and tactical overlays
  • Surveillance and security footage enhancement
