Abstract
This posture state estimation device is capable of estimating with high accuracy the posture state of an object. The posture state estimation device () is a device for estimating the posture state of an object having a plurality of sections connected by joints on the basis of image data that images the object, and has a section candidate extraction unit () for extracting a section candidate for a section from the image data, a complementary section candidate extraction unit () which estimates that a portion of an unextracted section for which a section candidate has not been extracted is being shadowed by an already extracted section for which a section candidate has been extracted in order to extract a section candidate of the unextracted section, and a posture state estimation unit () for estimating the posture state of the object on the basis of the extracted section candidate.
