IMAGE PROCESSING DEVICE AND HEAD MOUNTED DISPLAY APPARATUS INCLUDING THE SAME

摘要

When a hand of the user is recognized in an image pickup region of a camera, a head mounted display stores a contour shape of the hand which would be imaged by the camera in advance. In addition, the head mounted display receives an input of image data per pixel included in the camera, calculates a difference between colors of adjacent pixels represented by the image data, sets a set of image data having the same color system, where the calculated difference is within a predetermined threshold, as a group, and captures a contour of a region of the data. Next, the head mounted display compares the captured contour to a contour shape of the hand which is stored in advance to allow the user to recognize the hand of the user in the image pickup region.

主权项

1. An image processing device for recognizing a hand of user in an image pickup region of a camera which picks up an image of a front side of the user, the device comprising:
a difference calculating unit that receives an input of a picked-up image composed of a plurality of data included in the camera, calculates a difference between the data of the picked-up image, and executes the difference calculation between the data in at least a part of the image pickup region; a capturing unit that captures a shape of a region, where the difference calculated by the difference calculating unit is within a predetermined threshold, as a recognition target shape; a storing unit in which a contour shape of the hand is stored in advance as a comparative shape of the captured recognition target shape; and a recognizing unit that compares the recognition target shape captured by the capturing unit to the contour shape stored in the storing unit and recognizes the captured recognition target shape as the hand of the user in the image pickup region based on a comparison result.
