Abstract
An object is to enable an accurate determination of an operation. An operator uses a relative relation between a virtual operation screen determined from an image or a position of an operator photographed by the aforementioned video camera and the operator to determine that the operation starts when a part of the operator comes on this side of the operation screen as viewed from the video camera, and from a configuration or a movement of each portion, it is determined which out of operations in advance estimated the configuration or the movement corresponds to.

1-19. (canceled)
An image recognition apparatus comprising:
- three-dimensional camera means for reading an image of an operator to produce stereoscopic image data;
- operation screen former for forming a virtual operation screen in a configuration and a position based upon the image and the position of the operator read by the three-dimensional camera;
- and
- operation determining unit for, by reading a movement of an image of at least a part of the operator to the formed virtual operation screen by the three-dimensional camera, determining whether or not the movement is an operation based upon a position relation between the part of the operator and the virtual operation screen.
An image recognition apparatus comprising:
- three-dimensional camera for reading an image of an operator to produce stereoscopic image data;
- operation screen former for forming a virtual operation screen in a configuration and a position based upon a predetermined particular movement of the operator read by the three-dimensional camera;
- and
- operation determining unit for, by reading a movement of an image of at least a part of the operator to the formed virtual operation screen by the three-dimensional camera, determining whether or not the movement is an operation based upon a position relation between the part of the operator and the virtual operation screen.
An operation determining method comprising:
- reading an image of an operator to produce stereoscopic image data;
- forming a virtual operation screen in a configuration and a position based upon the image and the position of the operator read by the reading an image;
- and
- by reading a movement of an image of at least a part of the operator to the formed virtual operation screen by the reading an image, determining whether or not the movement is an operation based upon a position relation between the part of the operator and the virtual operation screen.
A computer readable medium storing program for executing an operation determining method for recognizing an image of an operator to determine an operation content by an image recognition apparatus, the operation determining method comprising:
- reading an image of an operator to produce stereoscopic image data;
- forming a virtual operation screen in a configuration and a position based upon the image and the position of the operator read by the reading an image;
- and
- by reading a movement of an image of at least a part of the operator to the formed virtual operation screen by the reading an image, determining whether or not the movement is an operation based upon a position relation between the part of the operator and the virtual operation screen.
