ABSTRACT:
An apparatus for determining a set of motion vectors for a set of feature points located on a contour of a moving object of a video signal comprises a contour displacement detection circuit for detecting a contour displacement range between a previous contour of the moving object contained in the previous frame and a current contour of the moving object contained in the current frame; and a feature point motion estimation circuit for comparing one of feature point blocks, having one of the feature points, with each of candidate blocks derived from a corresponding feature point search region adaptively regulated by the contour displacement range and for assigning a spatial displacements between one of the feature point block and a most similar candidate block thereto as a motion vector for a feature point corresponding to the one to thereby generating the set of motion vectors for the set of feature points.
