Abstract
A movement detection device includes a self-sustaining movement detection unit which is attached to an operator's body and detects a movement or a posture of an attached part of the operator's body. An image pickup section picks up a projected image from an optical system which simultaneously inputs a peripheral image. An image conversion section converts an all azimuth image picked up by the image pickup section into a cylindrical panorama image. An image recognition section includes cylindrical panorama images at different times. A camera posture estimation section acquires movement information of the image pickup section based on a comparison result of the image recognition section. A space sensor posture estimation section acquires a position/posture of the attached part in a space based on information of the self-sustaining movement detection unit and the camera posture estimation section.
