| 20120119988 | IMAGE RECOGNITION APPARATUS, OPERATION DETERMINING METHOD AND COMPUTER-READABLE MEDIUM - An accurate determination of an operation is possible. Data photographed by a video camera is read by an image reading unit, and an image of an operator is extracted from the data by an image extracting unit. As a result of such preparation, a virtual operation screen and an operation region are created based upon the extracted image of the operator. In a case of an adult operator, an operation region can be created in consideration with a length (position of sight line) or a length of an arm, and in a case of a child, since a length is lower and a length of an arm is shorter, an operation region can be set to match it. | 05-17-2012 |

Moreover, also provided is a carbon-metal composite material exhibiting an excellent mechanical strength and thermal conductivity, by improving affinity with a metal such as aluminium by use of the transition-metal-coated carbon material. | 05-10-2012 |
| 20120056989 | IMAGE RECOGNITION APPARATUS, OPERATION DETERMINING METHOD AND PROGRAM - 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. | 03-08-2012 |

| 20110141009 | IMAGE RECOGNITION APPARATUS, AND OPERATION DETERMINATION METHOD AND PROGRAM THEREFOR - An image for an operator is extracted, and an operation determination unit employs a relationship, relative to a marker of an operation input system, for the operator, who is standing behind the marker when viewed by a video camera. When a body part of the operator comes to the front of an operation plane, as viewed by the video camera, the operation determination unit determines that an action for an input operation has been started, and examines the shape and the movement of each individual body part (an open hand, two fingers that are being held up, etc.), and determines whether the shape or the movement is correlated with one of operations that are assumed in advance. | 06-16-2011 |
