Abstract
An equipment control device includes a person region detector that receives a thermal image corresponding to an object of image capture and detects a person region that is a region occupied by a person in the thermal image, a person feature detector that calculates basal metabolism of the person, based on a thermal image part of the person region in the thermal image, and an equipment controller that controls equipment, based on the basal metabolism of the person detected by the person feature detector.

1-13. (canceled)
An equipment control device comprising:
- a person region detector to receive a thermal image corresponding to an object of image capture and to detect a person region that is a region occupied by a person in the thermal image;
- a person feature detector to calculate basal metabolism of the person, based on a theimal image part of the person region in the thermal image;
- and
- a first equipment controller to control equipment, based on the basal metabolism of the person detected by the person feature detector.
An equipment control method comprising:
- receiving a thermal image corresponding to an object of image capture is and detecting a person region that is a region occupied by a person in the thermal image;
- calculating basal metabolism of the person, based on a thermal image part of the person region in the thermal image;
- and
- controlling equipment, based on the basal metabolism of the person detected by the person feature detection step.
