A three-dimensional image of an operation surface and a region upward thereof is acquired, a hand region is extracted from the three-dimensional image, and the position of a fingertip is specified based on the extracted hand region. A touch on the operation surface is detected based on the operation surface included in the three-dimensional image and the specified position of the fingertip, and if a touch is detected, the direction of the fingertip is specified, and a position obtained by shifting the position of the fingertip by a predetermined amount in the direction opposite to the specified direction of the fingertip is determined as the touch position.

User interface apparatus and control method

An image on an operating surface is captured, and first image data are acquired. A gesture performed by a user on the operating surface is recognized on the basis of the first image data. Whether there is a touch panel sensor configured to acquire coordinates of positions touched by an operation performed by a user on the operating surface or not is determined. In a case where the determination unit determines that there is the touch panel sensor on the operating surface, coordinates of the position on the operating surface touched by the operation performed by the user are identified on the basis of coordinates of a position detected by the touch panel sensor instead of a recognized user's gesture.

Operating apparatus, control method therefor, and storage medium storing program

An operability of a user in an image processing apparatus such as a camera scanner is improved. For this purpose, the image processing apparatus has: a pickup image obtaining unit for obtaining a pickup image on a stage through an imaging unit; a distance image obtaining unit for obtaining a distance image on the stage through a solid measuring unit; a detecting unit for detecting the putting of an object on the stage based on the obtained pickup image; a projecting unit for projecting an operation display regarding the reading of the object onto the stage through a projector when the putting of the object is detected; a recognizing unit for recognizing a gesture of the user on the stage based on the obtained distance image; and a reading unit for obtaining a read image of the object in accordance with the gesture to the projected operation display.

Image processing apparatus, information processing method, and program

To improve operability for a user who uses an image processing apparatus which images an original document and displays an image indicating the imaged original document, a camera scanner causes a displaying device to display a remaining image corresponding to the image indicating the original document at a position where the original document was put, and, when detecting that an original document enters a detecting region, causes the displaying device to display a thumbnail image of the remaining image such that the thumbnail image does not overlap the original document which enters the detecting region.

Image processing apparatus, controlling method thereof, and program

A user's operability in an image processing apparatus such as a camera scanner is improved. The image processing apparatus has: a pickup image obtaining unit for obtaining a pickup image on a stage through an imaging unit; a distance image obtaining unit for obtaining a distance image on the stage through a solid measuring unit; a solid information obtaining unit for obtaining solid information of a solid object put on the stage based on the obtained pickup image of the solid object and the obtained distance image of the solid object; a projecting unit for projecting a projection image showing a contents area onto the solid object through a projector based on the obtained solid information; and a processing unit for executing the contents in accordance with a user's gesture to the projected projection image.

When an information processing apparatus detects an operation in which three different points on a displayed image are touched and, while fixing one of the three points, the remaining two points are moved, the information processing apparatus displays side by side the image enlarged or reduced in response to the movement of the two points and the image neither enlarged nor reduced.

Information processing apparatus, method for controlling display, and storage medium

Provided are an information processing apparatus provided with a display unit including a touch panel, and a method for controlling the same. The information processing apparatus detects a plurality of touch points on a display object displayed on the display unit, and, if the number of the detected plurality of touch points is a predetermined number or more, divides this display object into a plurality of display objects in response to at least some of the plurality of touch points moving in an opposite direction on the touch panel to other of the plurality of touch points.
