Abstract

An image analyzing apparatus includes a display, a camera, and a processor. A camera is configured to shoot an image of a subject located in front of the display. A processor is configured to estimate a shape of the subject whose image has been shot by the camera. The processor is configured to establish a display region on the display according to the shape of the subject. The processor is configured to calculate a guidance direction for the subject according to the shape of the subject. And the processor is configured to display on the display region a guidance instruction that is based on the guidance direction.

Claims

1. An image analyzing apparatus comprising:

a display;

a camera configured to shoot an image of a subject located in front of the display; and

a processor configured to estimate a shape of the subject whose image has been shot by the camera,

to establishe a display region on the display according to the shape of the subject,

to calculate a guidance direction for the subject according to the shape of the subject, and

to display on the display region a guidance instruction that is based on the guidance direction.

2. The image analyzing apparatus according to claim 1, wherein

the processor changes the display region according to the guidance direction calculated.

3. The image analyzing apparatus according to claim 1, wherein

the processor preferentially establishes a display region that is distant from the camera.

4. An image analyzing method comprising:

estimating, by a processor, by an image analyzing apparatus, a shape of a subject that is located in front of a display and whose image has been shot by a camera;

establishing, by the processor, by the image analyzing apparatus, a display region on the display according to the shape of the subject;

calculating, by the processor, by the image analyzing apparatus, a guidance direction for the subject according to the shape of the subject; and

displaying, by the processor, by the image analyzing apparatus and on the display region, a guidance instruction that is based on the guidance direction.

5. A non-transitory computer-readable recording medium having stored therein a program for causing a computer to execute a process comprising:

estimating a shape of a subject that is located in front of a display and whose image has been shot by a camera;

establishing a display region on the display according to the shape of the subject;

calculating a guidance direction for the subject according to the shape of the subject; and

displaying on the display region a guidance instruction that is based on the guidance direction.
