1. A system comprising:

  • a moveable camera adapted to obtain a sequence of video images of an object;

    a determiner adapted to identify an object border in a current video image of said sequence of video images, said determiner being adapted to determine an object area and a background area based on said object border;

    an estimator adapted to estimate a camera motion estimate of said moveable camera based on said background area and to estimate an object motion estimate of the object based on said object area, said estimator being adapted to generate a camera motion model from said camera motion estimate and being adapted to generate an object motion model from at least one of said object motion estimate and said camera motion model;

    a stabilizer adapted to adjust at least one video image within said sequence of video images based on said camera motion model; and

    a controller adapted to control said moveable camera to track the object based on said object motion model and said camera motion model.
