Abstract

Official abstract text for this publication.

An image analyzing apparatus includes a display, a camera, and a processor. A camera is configured to shoot an image of a subject located in front of the display. A processor is configured to estimate a shape of the subject whose image has been shot by the camera. The processor is configured to establish a display region on the display according to the shape of the subject. The processor is configured to calculate a guidance direction for the subject according to the shape of the subject. And the processor is configured to display on the display region a guidance instruction that is based on the guidance direction.

First claim

Opening claim text (preview).

What is claimed is: 1 . An image analyzing apparatus comprising: a display; a camera configured to shoot an image of a subject located in front of the display; and a processor configured to estimate a shape of the subject whose image has been shot by the camera, to establishe a display region on the display according to the shape of the subject, to calculate a guidance direction for the subject according to the shape of the subject, and to display on the display region a guidance instruction that is based on the guidance direction. 2 . The image analyzing apparatus according to claim 1 , wherein the processor changes the display region according to the guidance direction calculated. 3 . The image analyzing apparatus according to claim 1 , wherein the processor preferentially establishes a display region that is distant from the camera. 4 . An image analyzing method comprising: estimating, by a processor, by an image analyzing apparatus, a shape of a subject that is located in front of a display and whose image has been shot by a camera; establishing, by the processor, by the image analyzing apparatus, a display region on the display according to the shape of the subject; calculating, by the processor, by the image analyzing apparatus, a guidance direction for the subject according to the shape of the subject; and displaying, by the processor, by the image analyzing apparatus and on the display region, a guidance instruction that is based on the guidance direction. 5 . A non-transitory computer-readable recording medium having stored therein a program for causing a computer to execute a process comprising: estimating a shape of a subject that is located in front of a display and whose image has been shot by a camera; establishing a display region on the display according to the shape of the subject; calculating a guidance direction for the subject according to the shape of the subject; and displaying on the display region a guidance instruction that is based on the guidance direction.
