Claim:
1. A method of generating motion vectors for image data, comprising: identifying boundaries of at least one object in original frames of image data, wherein the original frames include a current frame and an adjacent frame; matching points on the boundaries of the object in the current frame to find corresponding points in the adjacent frame of image data to identify the boundaries of the object in the adjacent frame of image data; performing object motion analysis for each pixel on the identified boundaries with respect to the motion of the boundary using any motion between the boundaries of the object in the current and adjacent frame of data, producing pixel-level motion; performing pixel-level motion layer generation; using the object motion analysis, pixel level motion and the pixel-level motion layers to generate motion for blocks in the image data; and producing block level motion information and layer information for the original frames of image data.
