Gesture recognition apparatus, gesture recognition method, and recording medium
First Claim
1. A gesture recognition apparatus for recognizing a gesture of a predetermined operating body, comprising:
- a storage unit, having stored therein, correspondence relationships between a plurality of coordinate ranges in relation to the operating body and to a plurality of operation target apparatuses, wherein each of the plurality of coordinate ranges corresponds to one operation target apparatus of the plurality of operation target apparatuses;
an image capturing unit configured to capture one or more images of the operating body;
a coordinate detecting unit configured to detect coordinates of the operating body based on the one or more captured images;
an operation target apparatus specifying unit configured to select an operation target apparatus when the detected coordinates of the operating body come within the coordinate range associated with the operation target apparatus in the stored correspondence relationships between the plurality of coordinate ranges and the plurality of operation target apparatuses; and
a gesture recognition processing unit configured to recognize a gesture associated with the operating body based on the one or more captured images and corresponding to the selected operation target apparatus.

Abstract
A gesture recognition apparatus for recognizing a gesture of a predetermined operating body includes a storage unit, having stored therein, correspondence relationships between a plurality of coordinate ranges in relation to the operating body and to a plurality of operation target apparatuses, each of the plurality of coordinate ranges further corresponding to each operation target apparatus of the plurality of operation target apparatuses. An image capturing unit captures one or more images of the operating body, a coordinate detecting detects coordinates of the operating body based on the one or more captured images, and an operation target apparatus specifying unit selects an operation target apparatus corresponding to the detected coordinates of the operating body and the stored correspondence relationships. A gesture recognition processing unit recognizes a gesture associated with the operating body based on one or more captured images and corresponding to the selected operation target apparatus.

12. A gesture recognition method for recognizing a gesture of a predetermined operating body, the method carried out by a processor performing steps comprising:
-
a first step in which correspondence relationships between a plurality of coordinate ranges of the operating body and to a plurality of operation target apparatuses are stored in a storage unit, wherein each of the plurality of coordinate ranges corresponds to one operation target apparatus of the plurality of operation target apparatuses; a second step in which one or more images of the operating body is captured; a third step in which coordinates of the operating body are detected based on the one more captured images; a fourth step in which an operation target apparatus is selected when the detected coordinates of the operating body come within the coordinate range associated with the operation target apparatus in the stored correspondence relationships between the plurality of coordinate ranges and the plurality of operation target apparatuses; and a fifth step in which a gesture associated with the detected operating body is recognized based on the one or more captured images corresponding to the selected operation target apparatus. - View Dependent Claims (13, 14, 15, 16)

17. A non-transitory recording medium in which a gesture recognition program for recognizing a gesture of a predetermined operating body is recorded, the program causing a computer to function as:
-
a coordinate detecting unit configured to detect coordinates of the operating body based on one or more images captured by an image capturing unit; an operation target apparatus specifying unit configured to select an operation target apparatus when the detected coordinates of the operating body come within the coordinate range associated with the operation target apparatus in correspondence relationships between a plurality of coordinate ranges of the operating body and a plurality of operation target apparatuses, wherein each of the plurality of coordinate ranges corresponds to one of the plurality of operation target apparatuses, the correspondence relationships being stored in a storage unit; and an operation processing unit configured to recognize a gesture associated with the operating body based on the one or more captured images and corresponding to the selected operation target apparatus. - View Dependent Claims (18)
