Abstract
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.
