Abstract
A detection device includes an input device and a detector. The input device in the detection device receives input of image information output from a camera. The detector performs a detection process to detect positions of eyes of a user. The detector performs, as the detection process, a first process to detect first positions of the eyes based on the image information by template matching, and a second process to detect a position of a face based on the image information by template matching and detect second positions of the eyes based on the detected position of the face.
Claims10
A detection device, comprising:
- an input device configured to receive input of image information;
- a controller configured to perform a detection process to detect current positions of eyes of a user;
- and
- a predictor configured to predict future positions of the eyes of the user,
- wherein the controller performs, as the detection process, a first process to detect first positions of the eyes of the user based on the input image information by template matching using a first template image,
- a second process to detect a position of a face of the user based on the input image information by template matching using a second template image different from the first template image and detect second positions of the eyes of the user based on the detected position of the face of the user, and
- a third process to detect third positions of the eyes of the user based on the input image information, the third process being different from the first process,
- wherein the predictor predicts, based on the third positions of the eyes of the user, the future positions of the eyes of the user.
An image display system, comprising:
- a display configured to display a parallax image projected toward two eyes of a user through an optical system;
- a barrier configured to define a traveling direction of image light of the parallax image to generate parallax between the two eyes;
- a camera configured to capture an image of a face of the user;
- an input device configured to receive input of image information output from the camera;
- a detector configured to perform a detection process to detect positions of the two eyes of the user;
- a predictor configured to predict future positions of the two eyes of the user;
- and
- a display controller configured to generate a parallax image corresponding to the positions of the two eyes of the user detected by the detector and to control the display,
- wherein the detector performs, as the detection process, a first process to detect first positions of the two eyes of the user based on the input image information by template matching using a first template image,
- a second process to detect a position of a face of the user based on the input image information by template matching using a second template image different from the first template image and detect second positions of the two eyes of the user based on the detected position of the face of the user, and
- a third process to detect third positions of the two eyes of the user based on the input image information, the third process being different from the first process,
- wherein the predictor predicts, based on the third positions of the two eyes of the user, the future positions of the two eyes of the user.
