Abstract
An equipment control device includes a person region detector that receives a thermal image corresponding to an object of image capture and detects a person region that is a region occupied by a person in the thermal image, a person feature detector that calculates basal metabolism of the person, based on a thermal image part of the person region in the thermal image, and an equipment controller that controls equipment, based on the basal metabolism of the person detected by the person feature detector.
