Body position detecting apparatus
First Claim
1. A body position detecting apparatus comprising:
- image acquisition means for repeatedly acquiring image data that includes an object and an operator in a place where the operator is capable of operating the object;
instructing means for instructing the operator to operate the object when a predetermined instructing condition is satisfied;
initial position detecting means for detecting a position of a body part of the operator in the image data that is acquired after the instructing means instructs the operator and for setting the position of the body part to an initial position; and
accumulating means for detecting a position of the body part of the operator in the image data that is acquired after the initial position is set, by detecting a displacement from a position of the body part detected last time and accumulating the displacement to the initial position.

Abstract
In a body position detecting apparatus, a controller repeatedly acquires image data that includes an object and an operator in a place where the operator is capable of operating the object. When the controller detects that the operator is in an operating position where the operator operates the object, the controller detects a position of a body part of the operator in the image data and the controller sets the position of the body part to an initial position. The controller detects a position of the body part of the operator in the image data that is acquired after the initial position is set, by detecting a displacement from a position of the body part detected last time and accumulating the displacement to the initial position.
