The method may also include generating the image as a cinemagram by identifying a reference frame from a plurality of frames and an object in the reference frame, segmenting the object from the reference frame, tracking the object across multiple of the frames, determining whether a portion of the reference frame lacks pixel information during motion of the object, and identifying pixel information to add to the portion.
