Gesture recognition apparatus, gesture recognition program and gesture recognition method

摘要

PPROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a gesture recognition device capable of reducing the amount of calculation required for posture recognition processing or gesture recognition processing. PSOLUTION: The gesture recognition device 4 is provided with: a face and finger position detection means 41 for detecting a face position and finger positions in the real space of a target person; and a posture/gesture recognition means 42 for recognizing the posture or gesture of the target person on the basis of the face position and finger positions detected by the face and finger position detection means 41. The posture/gesture recognition means 42 detects the "relative positional relation between the face position and the finger positions" and "displacement of finger positions based on the face position" from "the face position in the real space" and "the finger positions in the real space" and compares the detected results with the posture data or the gesture data stored in the posture/gesture storage part 12A to recognize the posture or gesture of the target person.
