Abstract
A method of extracting a moving object boundary includes estimating an initial motion vector for an object whose motion is represented by a change in position between a target image and a reference image, estimating an initial vector for a background area over which the object appears to move, using the estimated vectors to find a first iteration of a dynamical model solution, and completing at least one subsequent iteration of the dynamical model solution so as to extract a boundary of the object.
