A method for on-the-fly segmentations for image deformations, includes: selecting an object in an image that is displayed on a computer screen; immediately after selecting the object, automatically segmenting the object to find a boundary of the object and marking an area inside the boundary undeformable and an area outside the boundary deformable; and dragging the object to a desired location in the image while the area inside the boundary remains stiff and the area outside the boundary deforms.

System and method for on-the-fly segmentations for image deformations

A method for deforming an image using a physical model includes inputting the image, discrediting the image into a grid, applying forces to the grid upon receiving an input command for dragging the grid, updating a mesh deformation of the grid according to the forces, and wrapping the image according to a deformed mesh to produce a deformed image, wherein a wrapped image is displayed on an display device.
