Abstract
An input device, which generates control information by capturing an image of a detection object, comprises: a registered image storage section which stores a registered image in which a parameter value is associated with at least a part of the registered image; an image capture section which captures an image of the detection object; and a control information output section which outputs control information corresponding to the parameter value associated with an area of the registered image corresponding to the image of the detection object.

An input device which generates control information by capturing an image of a detection object, comprising:
- a registered image storage section which stores a registered image in which a parameter value is associated with at least a part of the registered image;
- an image capture section which captures an image of the detection object;
- and
- a control information output section which outputs control information corresponding to the parameter value associated with an area of the registered image corresponding to the image of the detection objects,
- wherein the image capture section includes a detection surface and captures an image of the detection object when the detection object is in contact with the detection surface,
- wherein the control information output section outputs the control information corresponding to movement of the detection object in an axis direction perpendicular to the detection surface based on area of the registered image and area of the image of the detection object captured by the image capture section, and
- wherein the control information is information corrected by using a rotation angle around at least one of a first axis and a second axis which intersect each other at right angles on the detection surface, the control information being corresponding to the movement of the detection object in the axis direction perpendicular to the detection surface.
