Abstract
A gesture recognition device that recognizes, based on an image obtained by imaging a person to be imaged with a digital camera having an imaging range changing mechanism for changing an imaging range, a gesture represented by a hand of the person to be imaged includes at least one processor. The at least one processor controls, in a case where a position of a face of the person to be imaged in the image deviates from a predetermined set position, an operation of the imaging range changing mechanism to cause the digital camera to capture a proper face position image with the position of the face as the set position, and determines whether the hand detected from the proper face position image is a right hand or a left hand based on a positional relationship between a position of the detected hand and the set position.
