Abstract
An apparatus for detecting a hand region includes a processor configured to: calculate a confidence score indicating a probability that a hand is represented for each pixel of a target image, determine, for each of predetermined points on an edge of the image, a probability that a hand extends outside the image at the predetermined point, set a lower hand region detection threshold at a predetermined point having a higher probability that a hand extends outside the image, set a hand region detection threshold of each pixel of the image at a value calculated by averaging hand region detection thresholds of the predetermined points respectively weighted by the distances from the pixel to the predetermined points, and detect a set of pixels in which the confidence score of each pixel is higher than the hand region detection threshold set for the pixel, as a hand region representing a hand.
