Abstract

A height calculation system includes a capturing section that captures an image, a detection section that detects a specific body part of a human in the image captured by the capturing section, and a calculation section that calculates the height of the human based on the size of the part when the one part detected by the detection section overlaps with a specific area present in the image.

Claims (55)

1 . A height calculation system comprising:

a capturing section that captures an image;

a detection section that detects a specific body part of a human in the image captured by the capturing section; and

a calculation section that calculates a height of the human based on a size of the part when the part detected by the detection section overlaps with a specific area present in the image.

2 . The height calculation system according to claim 1 , further comprising:

an acquiring section that acquires part information related to the size of the part when the specific body part detected by the detection section overlaps with the specific area; and

a determination section that determines a size to be associated with a predetermined height based on the part information acquired by the acquiring section,

wherein the calculation section calculates the height of the person based on a relationship between the size of the part when the one part overlaps with the specific area and the size associated with the predetermined height.

3 . The height calculation system according to claim 2 , further comprising:

an estimation section that estimates an attribute of the person related to the part information,

wherein the determination section determines each size to be associated with a height determined for each attribute, and

the calculation section calculates the height of the person based on a relationship between the size of the part when the one part overlaps with the specific area and a size that is the closest to the size of the one part among the sizes associated with the height for each attribute.

4 . The height calculation system according to claim 3 , further comprising:

a creating section that creates a normal distribution of the size of the part for each attribute based on the part information,

wherein the determination section associates the predetermined height with an average value in the normal distribution for each attribute.

5 . The height calculation system according to claim 3 ,

wherein the attribute is an age group and/or a sex of the person, and

the height determined for each attribute is a height that is determined as an average value of heights for each attribute.

6 . The height calculation system according to claim 4 ,

wherein the attribute is the age group and/or the sex of the person, and

the height determined for each attribute is a height that is determined as an average value of heights for each attribute.

7 . The height calculation system according to claim 2 ,

wherein the image is one image in the captured motion picture, and

the part information is information related to an average value of the sizes of the parts in each image constituting the motion picture while the detected one part overlaps with the specific area.

8 . The height calculation system according to claim 7 ,

wherein the average value is an average value of the sizes of the parts in each image constituting the motion picture in one cycle of walking of the person related to the part during which the detected one part overlaps with the specific area.

9 . The height calculation system according to claim 3 ,

wherein the determination section corrects each value of the size associated with the height for each attribute based on the size of a part when a specific body part of a human of a person of which the height is known overlaps with the specific area.

10 . The height calculation system according to claim 4 ,

wherein the determination section corrects each value of the size associated with the height for each attribute based on the size of a part when a specific body part of a human of a person of which the height is known overlaps with the specific area.

11 . The height calculation system according to claim 5 ,

wherein the determination section corrects each value of the size associated with the height for each attribute based on the size of a part when a specific body part of a human of a person of which the height is known overlaps with the specific area.

12 . The height calculation system according to claim 6 ,

wherein the determination section corrects each value of the size associated with the height for each attribute based on the size of a part when a specific body part of a human of a person of which the height is known overlaps with the specific area.

13 . The height calculation system according to claim 7 ,

wherein the determination section corrects each value of the size associated with the height for each attribute based on the size of a part when a specific body part of a human of a person of which the height is known overlaps with the specific area.

14 . The height calculation system according to claim 8 ,

wherein the determination section corrects each value of the size associated with the height for each attribute based on the size of a part when a specific body part of a human of a person of which the height is known overlaps with the specific area.

15 . The height calculation system according to claim 1 ,

wherein the calculation section calculates the height of the person based on a relationship among the size of the part when the one part overlaps with the specific area, a first size that is associated with a first height and is smaller than the size of the part, and a second size that is larger than the size of the part and is associated with a second height which is larger than the first height.

16 . The height calculation system according to claim 9 ,

wherein the determination section determines each size to be associated with three or more predetermined heights by increasing the size to be associated as the height is increased, and

in calculation of the height of the person, the calculation section uses a next smaller size than the size of the one part and a next larger size than the size of the one part among the three or more sizes determined by the determination section.

17 . The height calculation system according to claim 10 ,

wherein the determination section determines each size to be associated with three or more predetermined heights by increasing the size to be associated as the height is increased, and

in calculation of the height of the person, the calculation section uses a next smaller size than the size of the one part and a next larger size than the size of the one part among the three or more sizes determined by the determination section.

18 . The height calculation system according to claim 11 ,

wherein the determination section determines each size to be associated with three or more predetermined heights by increasing the size to be associated as the height is increased, and

in calculation of the height of the person, the calculation section uses a next smaller size than the size of the one part and a next larger size than the size of the one part among the three or more sizes determined by the determination section.

19 . An information processing apparatus comprising:

a detection section that detects a specific body part of a human in a captured image; and

a calculation section that calculates a height of a human based on a size of a part when the one part detected by the detection section overlaps with a specific area present in the image.

20 . A non-transitory computer readable medium storing a program causing a computer to implement:

a function of detecting a specific body part of a human of a person displayed in a captured image; and

a function of calculating a height of the person based on a size of a part when the detected one part overlaps with a specific area present in the image.
