OBJECT DETECTION APPARATUS
First Claim
1. An object detection apparatus comprising:
- an imaging module to image a subject to be imaged and output a picture signal;
a three-dimensional position detection module to detect a three-dimensional position of an object in the subject to be imaged and output three-dimensional position information;
an input module to input data for setting a detection area;
an output module to output a picture signal to a display module;
a picture processing module to carry out conversion processing to the picture signal; and
a control module to control to make the picture processing module carry out the conversion processing to the picture signal existing inside and/or outside the detection area so that the inside and the outside of the detection area can be distinguished on the basis of the three-dimensional position information outputted by the three-dimensional position detection module and the detection area setting data inputted by the input module and to output the picture signal subjected to the conversion processing from the output module so that the inside and the outside of the detection area can be distinguished.

Abstract
An improved object detection apparatus using an interface with which user can set an object detection area intuitively with simple operation. Apparatus includes imaging module imaging and outputting an imaged picture, three-dimensional position detection module detecting a three-dimensional position and outputting detected position information, input module allowing user to input data for setting a detection area and processing module conversion-processing and outputting the picture. Using detection area setting data inputted by user, detection area in the three-dimensional space is decided and whether the three-dimensional position detected by the position detection module exists inside or outside the detection area is judged. Picture outputted by the imaging module is subjected to conversion processing based on judgment result and detection area is clearly indicated in the picture.
