See if these two articles in our “Art of” series help:

Art of Tracking Part 1: History of Tracking:
http://www.fxguide.com/article209.html

Art of Tracking Part 2: Tips & Apps Overview:
http://www.fxguide.com/article212.html

They are a bit dated but should give you some background.

If you do a search for the term “Matchmoving” on Amazon, it will come up with a couple of very useful books which contain all the info you’re asking for.

Sorry but there is a reason those topics require an entire book to cover effectively… so, no I don’t think anyone can sum up an answer for you in a forum post.

Try the book “The Art and Technique of Matchmoving”

That covers pretty much exactly the topics you mentioned in great detail.

Good luck
