Abstract

See full text

A shadow region extraction portion compares the brightness of an image captured by a camera with a threshold value and extracts first and second shadows caused by first and second light sources for a user's finger. An approach degree detection portion detects an approach degree for the finger with reference to a manipulation surface from distance d between two feature points in the first and second shadows. A contact point detection portion detects contact point P for the finger with reference to the manipulation surface from positions of the two feature points. A direction detection portion detects a direction pointed by the finger from directions of contours corresponding to the first and second shadows. A display control portion generates display control data for a manipulation target apparatus based on detection result data.
