Abstract
Provided is a gesture detection apparatus that accurately detects a hand of an occupant in gesturing. The gesture detection apparatus includes a face frame information acquisition unit, a hand candidate detection unit, and a determination unit. The face frame information acquisition unit acquires face frame information. The face frame is set so as to surround the face of the occupant detected on the basis of the video. The hand candidate detection unit detects a hand candidate on the basis of the video. The determination unit rejects the information of the hand candidate so that the hand candidate is not detected as the hand of the occupant in the gesture of the occupant as a detection target on the basis of a predetermined condition regarding the overlap between the face frame in the video and the hand candidate frame set to surround the hand candidate.
