Information processing apparatus and information processing method

An information processing method by an information processing apparatus for extracting a shape of an object representing a predetermined body portion of a user body from a captured image acquired by capturing the user, the information processing apparatus including,

• irradiating means,
• acquiring means,
• skin area extracting means, and
• shape area extracting means,
• and the method comprising:
• irradiating, by the irradiating means, light having a first wavelength and light having a second wavelength different from the first wavelength onto the user,
• acquiring, by the acquiring means, a first image acquired by receiving reflected light of light having the first wavelength emitted irradiated onto the user, and a second image acquired by receiving reflected light of light having the second wavelength emitted irradiated onto the user,
• extracting, by the skin area extracting means, a skin area representing skin of the user based on the first image and the second image, and
• extracting, the shape area extracting means, a shape area representing a shape of the object on the skin area, wherein,
• the shape area extracting means extracts the shape area based on a luminance value distribution of pixels constituting an area corresponding to the skin area on a displayed image displaying the object, and a body part of the user corresponding to an area excluding the shape area on the skin area.

A non-transitory computer-readable storage medium storing a program to cause a computer controlling an information processing apparatus for extracting a shape of an object representing a predetermined body portion of a user body from a captured image acquired by capturing the user, and including an irradiating means for irradiating light having a first wavelength and light having a second wavelength different from the first wavelength onto the user, to perform a method comprising:

• acquiring a first image acquired by receiving reflected light of a light having the first wavelength emitted irradiated onto the user, and a second image acquired by receiving reflected light of a light having the second wavelength emitted irradiated onto the user;
• extracting a skin area representing skin of the user based on the first image and the second image;
• and
• extracting a shape area representing a shape of the object on the skin area, wherein,
• the shape area is extracted based on a luminance value distribution of pixels constituting an area corresponding to the skin area on a displayed image displaying the object, and a body part of the user corresponding to an area excluding the shape area on the skin area.
