Abstract

A gesture recognition apparatus including a detector, a controller and a gesture recognizer, and is able to detect a portion to be detected using an image captured at a first resolution without reducing the number of images to be entered per unit of time to an object detector by detecting an auxiliary portion instead when the portion to be detected is not detected at a second resolution, estimating the position of the auxiliary portion based on the position of the auxiliary portion, and extracting the periphery thereof from the image captured at the first resolution.
